6.4 Logging In to an iFolder Account

You can work locally with files in the iFolder directories at any time. You must be logged in to an iFolder account to synchronize the user list, synchronize iFolder data, upload new iFolders, download shared iFolders, share iFolders, and manage iFolders. You can log in separately and be logged in concurrently to multiple accounts.

Use one of the following login methods for each account:

Log In Automatically: Enable Remember password for your iFolder account if you want to log in automatically whenever the iFolder client starts. You can enable Remember password on this computer when you configure the account or by modifying the account settings later.

Whenever your password changes, automatic authentication fails gracefully the next time you attempt to log in to the iFolder account. When iFolder prompts you to log in, you can enter the new password and select the Remember password check box again if desired.
Log In As Needed: Deselect the Remember password check box if you want to log in to an iFolder account only as needed.

To enable or disable Remember password feature for an existing iFolder account:

Right-click the iFolder Services icon in the notification area, then select Accounts to open the iFolder Preferences dialog box to the Accounts tab.
Select the iFolder account, then click Properties to view its setting in the Properties dialog box.
Click the Identity tab.
Select (enable) or deselect (disable) Remember password.
Provide the password in the Password field.
Click Close for successful completion.
Click Close in the iFolder Properties dialog box to save your changes and log in to the server.

To log in to an iFolder account:

Right-click the iFolder Services icon in the notification area, then select Accounts.
Select the iFolder account, then select the Online check box next to it.
If prompted for a password, specify the password, then click Connect.

If Remember password is enabled for the account, you are not prompted to enter a password unless your password has expired.

If login fails, an error message reports the cause, such as password failure.
On successful connection, close the iFolder Preferences dialog box.
