sciebo Account
My account name has changed. What do I have to do?

If your account name has changed (e.g. because you have moved to another university and have received a new ID), you must register again. Unfortunately, you cannot continue to use your old account. If necessary, you can manually move your data from the old to the new account.

Access
I have left the university and can no longer access my account. What can I do?

If you leave your institution, you can no longer renew your sciebo account and it will be blocked after a grace period (of max. 1 year from the last renewal) and subsequently deleted. If you forgot to back up your data before the blocking, open a support ticket.

Data Loss
Data has disappeared from my account. What can I do?

There may be various reasons why data can no longer be found. First check the following solutions:

  • If you have deleted data by mistake, you can restore it within 7 days (depending on the available storage space also considerably longer), provided you are the owner of the data. To do this, log in to the web interface and select the recycle bin in the left menu bar. You can restore the data listed there directly.
  • If data that was shared with you is missing, contact the person who shared the data. They may be able to restore the share or data (if it was accidentally deleted). Also note that data shared by a user will no longer be available if his or her sciebo account is deleted.

If your data could not be restored in this way, open a support ticket. Please also remember to make regular backups of your data.
