For each iFolder, you can view a list of its folders and files, upload and download files, create folders, and delete folders and files. To create, delete, or share iFolders, you must use the iFolder Client for your Linux*, Windows*, or Macintosh* computer.

Logging In and Logging Out

If the system connection times out when you are working in your iFolders, Web access returns you to the login page. You can log in again to resume working without closing your browser.

Log out by clicking Logout in the upper right header area, then close your browser. If you do not log out, your session remains open until your session times out, which can be a security risk.

Browsing iFolders

The iFolders page lists all iFolders available to you in the current account. Available iFolders include those you own and those others have shared with you. You can access shared iFolders through Web access even if you have not set up the iFolder on a local computer. The Owner column identifies the name of the person who owns the iFolder to help you locate the iFolder you seek.

Click the iFolder's name to view a list of its folders and files, upload and download files, create folders, and delete folders and files.
