What is Online File Folder?
Online File Folder is a browser-based application that allows you to store and
access your important files, safely and securely online. Much like a folder on
your hard drive, the Online File Folder allows you to back up your files and
stores them in a safe place for you. You’ll have access to your files 24/7, you
can share your files with others, and you can even encrypt your files for an
extra level of protection.
What file formats can I upload to my Online File Folder?
You can upload any file type that you choose, but you cannot exceed your file
size limit for total storage space.
Can I send files from my Online File Folder?
If you associated your Online File Folder with an email address, you can send
files when generating an email message in Webmail and includ the selected files
as attachments in the email message. Using this feature, the Webmail
Compose Email screen appears with the selected files attached to the blank
message. Complete the email and click Send Mail.
Can I share files with my Online File Folder?
Yes, you can share files by putting them in the Shared Files view. From
the Shared Files view, you can send links to the selected file(s) allowing
recipients to access and download the files. Sharing files provides you
with an alternative to sending files as attachments in email messages. You
can send a file link when you create the shared file or send it later.
Can I compress files?
Yes, you can compress a file or group of files to reduce the overall file size
of your file and thereby decrease the time required to download files or send
file attachments. The compress feature uses the popular ZIP compression
format to create an archive containing the selected files.
Can I organize my files in Online File Folder?
Yes, you can organize your files by building a directory tree with an unlimited
number of folders and then moving your files into those folders. When you
first begin, the program creates a root folder based on your user name.
The root folder cannot be modified and serves as the parent folder in the
directory.
Can I edit files in Online File Folder?
The files you have stored in your Online File Folder are not linked to the
original files you may still have saved on your hard drive. You may open
files from your Online File Folder to make changes; however, the updated files
must be saved to your hard drive. Any changes will not propagate to your
files until you upload the updated files from their saved location. The
same is also true of any changes you make in the original files. Changes
to original files on your hard drive are not propagated to the files stored in
your Online File Folder.
What are Web Folders?
Web Folders (WebDAV) allow you to access your Online File Folder account through
your Microsoft Windows Explorer. You can copy, rename, and move files
inside your account, or even move files to and from your hard drive.
Furthermore, once you have set up your Web Folder, you can open your Windows
Explorer, and your Online File Folder account will display as a folder under "My
Network Places."
Can I get additional space for my Online File Folder?
The Online File Folder comes with varying amounts of storage space, depending on
the plan that you purchased. If you need additional storage space you may
purchase it in incremental packs of 1GB.
Why can't i download a file that is in my shared folder?
When you have a file listed in your shared files folder but it is grayed out and
you cannot access it, this may be because you have exceeded the share limit for
this file. Shared files can be downloaded a maximum of 100 times per
upload. To make the file available for more downloads, remove the file
from your shared folder and upload the file again. You will then have a
new 100 downloads available for that file.
