After you purchase Alibaba Cloud Drive for Enterprise, the system automatically assigns a dedicated second-level domain name to you. You can configure a custom domain name to access CDE. After configuring a custom domain name, you can increase the daily share creation limit beyond 500 and remove restrictions that prevent users from downloading APK and IPA files from external shares.
Notes
To increase the daily share creation and access limit beyond 500 or remove restrictions on downloading APK and IPA files from external shares, you must configure both the Enterprise Domain Name and Data Access Domain Name.
If you encounter any issues during use, please contact us.
Prerequisites
You have activated and purchased Alibaba Cloud Drive Enterprise Edition.
You have an account with Alibaba Cloud Drive Enterprise Edition super administrator or drive administrator permissions.
You have registered a domain name.
You have completed the ICP filing for the domain name. You can map a domain name whose ICP filing is completed not by using the Alibaba Cloud ICP Filing system.
You have an SSL certificate. If you do not have an SSL certificate, you can purchase one from Alibaba Cloud SSL Certificates Service. For more information, see Purchase a certificate and Submit a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).
If the ICP filing is not completed by using the Alibaba Cloud ICP Filing system, the ICP filing status may not be found, which may cause the domain name mapping or access to fail.

In the left navigation bar, select Enterprise Settings > Standard Customization > More Configurations > Data Access Domain Name.
Save the Default Domain Name under Data Access.
ImportantYou need to configure two CNAME records for each Service Type to set up a custom domain name and verify DNS domain ownership. For more information, see Example of DNS binding for data access domain names.
example.example.comis your custom data access domain name.example.data.aliyunpds.comis the Default Domain Name.
Custom data access domain name:
Record value:
example.data.aliyunpds.com.Verify DNS domain ownership:
Host record:
_dnsauth.example.example.com.Record value:
_dnsauth.www.example.com.example.data.aliyunpds.com.
