7.4 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 for your iFolder account if you want to log in automatically whenever the iFolder client starts. You can enable when you configure the account or by modifying the account settings later.
Whenever your password changes, automatic authentication fails gracefully the next time you attempts to log in to the iFolder account. iFolder prompts you to log in, then you can enter the new password. Enable again if desired.
-
Log In As Needed: Disable if you want to log in to an iFolder account only as needed.
