# Time zone

When using Web File Share with a webhosting service, sometimes the server is located in a different time zone than you and your users. You can adjust the time difference by configuring Web File Share to use your time zone instead:

Open the file "/*path-to-WebFileShare*/customizables/config.php" in a text editor and add the following line:

date\_default\_timezone\_set<span style="color: #66cc66;">(</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">"Asia/Tokyo"</span><span style="color: #66cc66;">)</span>;

Replace "Asia/Tokyo" with your desired location.

### Date/Time Formats

If you also want to change the date/time formats used in the interface, these can be changed by editing the language translation files (See [Translating Web File Share](http://support.quikbox.com/article.php?id=576)).
