With Novell iFolder, you transparently maintain copies of your files in your local iFolder directory on each workstation and on the iFolder server.
You can access the local Novell iFolder directory as you would any directory on your workstation.
The iFolder client places a shortcut to your local iFolder directory on your desktop during installation. Another way to easily open your local iFolder directory is to right-click the iFolder icon in your system tray, then click Open iFolder.
To access any of the files in the local iFolder directory, your computer needs to have the application associated with each of the files. For example, if you have a Word document in the current local iFolder directory and you want to modify it, Word must be installed on the computer.
Novell iFolder allows you to choose the location of your local iFolder directory during the installation of the iFolder client. You can also change the location at any time.
If you change the location of an existing local iFolder directory, you must manually move or copy any existing files from the old location to the new location in order for iFolder to synchronize properly.
To move the location of your iFolder directory:
Log in to iFolder.
Right-click the iFolder icon in the system tray, then click Account Information > File > Set iFolder Location.
Specify the path to new iFolder location.
Log out of iFolder.
Move your iFolder files from the old location to the new location.
This will prevent iFolder from downloading your entire account to the new location.
Log in to iFolder.
Double-click the iFolder shortcut (to the old location) on your desktop.
Click Edit > Select All.
Click Edit > Cut.
Close the window.
Double-click the iFolder shortcut (to the new location) on your desktop, or navigate to the location in your directory browser.
Click Edit > Paste.
