# How do I change the details of a cloud account I already added?

Select the account in **Cloud Accounts** and click **Edit** (between Test connection and Remove). This works for **Bucket Storage**, **FTP** and **SFTP** accounts: the same form opens with your current values filled in, and you change only what you need — for example just a new secret key.

A few things to know: the nickname is locked; your current secret is shown so you can check it, with an eye button to hide it; and each field is saved on its own, so an interrupted save never leaves the account blank. The strength check only applies when you type a new password or key.

Google Drive and Dropbox accounts aren't edited this way — remove and add them again to sign in fresh.
