FileCloud Drive provides remote access to files by fetching data from the mapped drive on demand without consuming permanent offline storage.

How do I remotely connect to a server?

The computer, remote desktop, or server must be turned on with a network connection. Both client and server applications must be installed and enabled on each device. Open the portal application or enter the IP address and enable permissions (including firewall settings) for remote connection.

How do I set up remote access to a server via a service provider?
