What Is Your Online Portal?

Your Online Portal is a personal website that you can use to download the program, view your files from any device, and change your account settings. Below is a complete guide.

 

 

 

1.1          Devices

The devices page is the default page shown to you after logging in. It shows the current status of backups on the various devices linked to the account.

The View Backup button on a device will show the files and folders that are backed up from that device.

 

If a computer is no longer in use, that device can be removed from the account by clicking on the ‘X’ in the Device view. You can choose either to remove the device but keep all the backed up files or remove everything. 

 

1.2          Briefcase

You can also view the contents of your Briefcase online.

  

From here you can choose to add folders to your Briefcase, upload files and folders to your Briefcase or view hidden and deleted files.

You can click on files in the Briefcase to view these in greater detail.

 

You have several options when viewing files in your Briefcase:

Download	- download the file to the your current device
Share	- lets you invite specific people to view the file or make it available for public viewing.
Rename	- the new name is reflected in the Briefcase folder.
Edit	- allows you to edit Office and image files online.
