# Manage Your StaccShare Profile and Account Settings

> Update your display name, username, and profile photo, manage notification preferences, and control security settings in your StaccShare account.

Your StaccShare profile controls how you appear to teammates, collaborators, and anyone who visits your public profile page. This page covers every setting available to you — from your display name and photo to notifications and account deletion.

## Accessing your settings

To open your account settings, click your **avatar** in the top-right corner of any StaccShare page, then select **Settings** from the dropdown menu. You can also navigate directly to [app.staccshare.com/settings](https://app.staccshare.com/settings).

***

## Display name

Your display name appears alongside your avatar in workspaces, on comments, and on content you share with others.

To update it:

1. In **Settings**, find your current name at the top of the **Profile** section.
2. Click **Edit** next to your name.
3. Enter your new display name.
4. Click **Save**.

***

## Username

Your username forms your public profile URL — for example, `staccshare.com/yourname`. It must be unique across StaccShare and follow these rules:

* Between **3 and 30 characters** long
* Letters, numbers, and hyphens only (no spaces or special characters)

To set or change your username, go to **Settings → Profile → Username**, enter your preferred handle, and click **Save**.

<Warning>
  Changing your username permanently updates your public profile URL. Any existing links to your old profile URL — shared in emails, social media, or other platforms — will no longer work. There is no automatic redirect from old usernames to new ones.
</Warning>

***

## Profile photo

Your profile photo appears in workspaces, on shared content, and on your public StaccShare profile.

To upload or change your photo:

1. In **Settings → Profile**, click the **avatar circle**.
2. Click **Upload photo**.
3. Select a JPG or PNG image from your device (maximum file size: 5 MB).

Your new photo updates across all workspaces and public pages immediately.

***

## Email address

To change the email address associated with your account:

1. Go to **Settings → Account → Change email**.
2. Enter your new email address.
3. Click **Send verification**.
4. Open the verification email sent to your new address and confirm the change.

Your email address is updated once you verify the new address.

***

## Password

To update your password:

1. Go to **Settings → Security → Change password**.
2. Enter your current password.
3. Enter and confirm your new password.
4. Click **Save**.

<Note>
  If you signed up using Google SSO, you won't see a current password field. You can set a password for the first time from the same **Settings → Security** screen.
</Note>

***

## Notifications

Control which email notifications StaccShare sends you from **Settings → Notifications**. Toggle each option on or off individually:

| Notification             | What triggers it                                              |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Workspace invites**    | Someone invites you to join a workspace                       |
| **Share link views**     | A recipient opens one of your share links                     |
| **Share link downloads** | A recipient downloads files from one of your share links      |
| **Workspace activity**   | New uploads, comments, or changes in workspaces you belong to |

Changes to your notification preferences take effect immediately.

***

## Deleting your account

<Warning>
  Deleting your account is **permanent and irreversible**. All files, share links, collections, and workspaces you own will be immediately and permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone, and StaccShare cannot recover your data after deletion.
</Warning>

To delete your account:

1. Go to **Settings → Account → Delete account**.
2. Read the confirmation message carefully.
3. Type your email address to confirm, then click **Delete my account**.

If you're the owner of a shared workspace, we recommend transferring ownership or notifying your team before proceeding.
