Cloud Drive folder

                                                                                                                                                                 

Cloud Drive creates a unique folder on every linked computer. You can then sync files using that folder on linked desktops, or directly through IDrive account and mobile apps. You can access the Cloud Drive folder on linked computers to view, share, add, delete or, modify the synced files.

To sync files, 
  1. Drag and drop files from your computer to your Cloud Drive folder. 
  2. Files and folders placed in the Cloud Drive folder are automatically synced to your IDrive account and linked devices. 
  3. Files synced from any other linked device also instantly appear in the Cloud Drive folder until Sync has been stopped.

Graphical icons reflect the sync status of files or folders. Once you place a file/folder in the Cloud Drive folder - blue icons over files or folders will indicate that they are still syncing. And green icons indicate that the files and folders are in sync.

Cloud Drive lets you restore previous file versions, share files and locate files in your account right from your computer.

From your Cloud Drive folder, right-click the file and select IDrive > Versions. The Versions screen appears.
