Disconnect a lost computer

On the archive website, you or your administrator can disconnect a computer, for example after it’s lost: in the app’s Settings › Account you’ll find the Manage devices on the website link. The next time it contacts the archive, the disconnected computer stops syncing and deletes its saved access. Files already on that computer are not touched.

If it’s your computer and all is well, when “This computer has been disconnected from your archive” appears, select Sign in again: syncing resumes without downloading everything again.

Uninstall

Before uninstalling, it’s best to use Disconnect this computer.

  • Windows: Settings › Apps › Installed apps › ArchiviOnline › Uninstall.
  • Mac: quit ArchiviOnline from its icon with Quit and drag the app from Applications to the Trash.
  • Linux: with the .deb sudo apt remove archivi-online; with the .rpm sudo dnf remove archivi-online (openSUSE: sudo zypper remove archivi-online); with the AppImage quit the app, untick Open ArchiviOnline when the computer starts in Settings › General and delete the file.

The synced folder and your files always stay on the computer.
