Here you can decide whether or not an administrator will be able to recover your files in case you loose your password. This option is disabled by default as it enables admins of disroot to decrypt and view your files. **Enabling this option after your password was lost will not recover your files!** You need to make this decision beforehand. **We strongly encourage you to never loose your password in the first place and keep it stored safe.** This is the best way to keep your files and your account safe.

## Federated cloud
What is federated cloud? Just like emails that can be send between users on different servers (gmail, riseup, disroot etc) also nextcloud gives you opportunity to share files, contacts, calendars etc. with people outside of disroot that also use similar cloud solution (owncloud and / or nextcloud). This gives the freedom to the users to use platform of their choice while being able to collaborate with each other. In this section you can see your federation ID, you can share it with others by just sending a link or via predefined platforms (to which you can add your preferred ones that are not included).

So let's get things rolling:
## Add new feeds
Most of the websites provide [RSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS) or Atom feeds. Once you have the RSS link ready, you can copy it and add it to your news app.
To add the feed simply click on the **"+ Subscribe"** button and fill in the URL of the feed you previously copied.
