If you never received the invitation on your current email, check your email client SPAM folders
If you cannot login in your /e/ smartphone or at https://ecloud.global try to reset your password with the reset link available at https://ecloud.global
Make sure that you use your username@e.email as email for the reset process, NOT your recovery email.

This action will remove your /e/ ID and ecloud account , data stored on the ecloud if any and all emails.

Your /e/ identity at ecloud.global is not (yet) compatible with our various websites and forums.
This means that you will have to create specific login/password at community.e.foundation, gitlab.e.foundation, and e.foundation (shop)
Do not try to login in your /e/ smartphone with your community or gitlab identity. It will not work.
Your /e/ identity is under this form :
username@e.email
This is your email address too. Yes. « .email » is a valid extension on internet, like .com, .org, .xyz and thousands others.
And forget username@e.email.org we don’t own the email.org domain.

Your free account will be limited to 1GB online storage. We now have some premium storage plans available. You can also upgrade it to 20GB while supporting the /e/ project by becoming an /e/ Early Adopter.
