To Upload a file

  • With the exe is running you upload files by copying the files you want to copy to the cloud to the folder you specified.

    Note: The files will be deleted after they have been uploaded. However, they will become available on the cloud app.

To Download a file

Different apps are configured differently on which folder is used to transfer files back to on-prem.

  • In general files will have a folder that the source files can be copied into and then these files will be automatically downloaded to the folder configured on the client app.

  • The file is then deleted from the source folder on the cloud.
