This guide provides detailed instructions for integrating the Solid extension with your Fleetbase account. Solid is an innovative technology that lets users store their own data in personal online data stores, called "Pods," that they control. By using the Solid extension on Fleetbase, users can manage their data directly through the Fleetbase interface.
