      I cannot create an Adobe, Apple, Dropbox or Google account with my diocesan email address. I do not receive a verification code.

      Restrictions are in place creating accounts with these providers to prevent the storage of data with unmanaged cloud services.

      Warning: Do not create accounts for diocesan work using a non-diocesan email address. Instead follow the guidance provided in these articles.

      Approved Cloud Services

      For a full list of cloud services that have been approved for diocesan use please refer to:

      Cloud-based apps and website services approved for diocesan use >

      Adobe

      Accounts can be setup by the IT Team. Please raise a support ticket if you require one.

      Apple

      We provide managed Apple accounts which are setup by the IT Team. Please raise a support ticket if you require one.

      Dropbox

      Dropbox is not a diocesan approved cloud service to store and share diocesan data. Instead use Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive. See:

      How do I use SharePoint and OneDrive? >

      You may only use Dropbox to receive files from external sources.

      Google

      We provide managed Google accounts which are setup by the IT Team. Please raise a support ticket if you require one. For more information see:
