Tap your avatar at the top left, then **Settings**. To find a setting quickly, type in **Search settings...** at the top.

## Theme and app icon

Open **Appearance**:

- **Choose theme**: **Light**, **Dark** or **System default**, to follow your phone.
- **App icon**: choose one of five icons for your home screen. **Your home screen icon may take a few seconds to update.**

## Language

Open **Language** to follow your phone's language or choose English, Français, Português (Brasil), Deutsch, Italiano, Español, 简体中文, 繁體中文 or 日本語. The **Language** row may still read English for some languages while the app is shown in that language.

## Lock the app

**App Lock** asks for a code each time you open Drime. It is off by default.

1. Open **App Lock** and turn it on.

2. Choose how to unlock the app.

   **Device Lock** uses your phone's own PIN, fingerprint or face (the default). You can also choose a 4-digit PIN, or a **Custom password** of at least 4 characters.

3. Under **Auto-lock**, choose when the app locks.

   **Immediately** is the default. You can also choose 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes or 15 minutes.

On Android, **Hide Content** also hides the app's content in the app switcher and blocks screenshots. It is off by default.

## Notifications

Open the account menu, then **Notifications**, to see your notifications. You can mark them as read, all at once with **Mark all as read**, or delete them. A workspace invitation shows **Join** and **Decline**.

The app can notify you when files are shared with you, when you are invited to a workspace, about your transfers and about memories. In **Settings** \> **Notifications**, you choose:

- the backup progress notifications;
- the "On this day" memories;
- how often backup failures are reported (every 2 hours by default);
- the events your account sends to your phone;
- transfer status changes.

## Space and logs

- To free up space on your phone, see [Free up space on your phone](https://drime.cloud/support/mobile/free-up-phone-space). **Clear document cache** empties the cache of opened documents.
- **Logs** lets you share the app's logs with support, or clear them.
