Installing and Using Workspace Desktop Tools
Workspace Desktop Tools help you manage your Online File Folder® account. It includes three separate tools:
- Backup lets you back up files from your computer to Online File Folder and, using the Sync feature, synchronizes files from Online File Folder with your computer.
- Drive Map connects your computer to Online File Folder as if it were a removable drive, which lets you manage your contents directly in Windows® Explorer without directly logging in to Online File Folder.
- The File Editing Tool lets you open and manipulate files directly in Online File Folder without saving them to your computer.
