Cloud accounts · Testing, editing and removing accounts

Can I rename a cloud account's nickname?

Short answer: Not directly. The nickname is locked because transfers and schedules refer to it. Remove the account and add it again with the new name, then recreate any transfers that used it. Your cloud files aren't affected.

Not directly — the nickname is locked once the account exists, because transfers and schedules refer to it. To change it, remove the account and add it again with the new nickname.

Before removing, note which transfers use it: Storage Studio lists them and offers to remove them with the account, so you'll want to recreate those afterwards using the new nickname. Your files in the cloud aren't affected. See removing an account.
