Configuring email notifications

You can configure PilatusBox to email you when certain events occur in your PilatusBox (for example, when you are invited to a shared folder, your storage is nearly at capacity, or a new application is registered to your account). These events help keep you immediately up-to-date when important changes occur in your PilatusBox account.

Note

  • Your organization may not have PilatusBox configured to send email notifications.
  • The other two sections (Language and E-mail) of the Account settings window affect email notifications:
    • Emails are sent to you in the language set in the Language section. If the language is set to Use Browser Settings, emails are sent in English.
    • Emails are sent to the email listed in the E-mail section. This email was set when you first registered with PilatusBox.

Procedure

  1. In the top right-corner of the User Portal, click your username.
  2. Click Account settings.
  3. In the Send e-mails when section of the window, select the events that you would like to receive email notifications about:
    My storage is quota is nearly used up
    PilatusBox sends an email when you've used up 90% of your storage quota. For information on viewing your storage quota, see Viewing storage space.
    Others invite me to a shared folder
