How Files are Stored Locally

  • In your File Explorer, each account will have a separate folder
  • By default, the folders are named:
    • OpenCloud (for the first account)
    • OpenCloud (2) (for the second account)
    • OpenCloud (3) (for the third account), and so on

This setup ensures that files from different accounts remain organized and do not mix.
