Seed and Organize Team Folder Data

Seeding Team Folder data with FileCloud Sync Client is both simple and quick. The following steps must be followed to seed data using the Sync Client

1. First, create the Team Folders outside of FileCloud and copy the Team Folder data into them.

2. Download and install the FileCloud Sync Client.
3. Log in to the Sync Client using the Team Folder account credentials created during the Team Folder Account Setup.
4. Open the My Files folder.
5. In file explorer, copy the folders created in Step 1 into My Files.
6. Wait for Sync to run automatically or click Sync Now.
   The folders are synced to My Files in your Team Folder Account. The folders become Team Folders for all other users.

Once the sync is complete,  you can log in to the admin interface and go to Team Folders to share them with users and groups and set up permissions.

Note: Alternately, use the ServerSync Client instead of the Sync Client.

Team Folder data can be seeded using the Drive Client. The following steps must be followed to seed data using Drive Client.

2. Download and install the FileCloud Drive Client.
3. Log in to the Drive Client using the Team Folder account credentials created during the Team Folder Account Setup.
4. Locate Drive in your file explorer, and copy the folders created in Step 1 into My Files.
   Drive will automatically detect the new folders and add them to My Files in your Team Folder Account. The folders become Team Folders for all other users. 

Once the files and folders are copied, you can log in to the admin interface and go to Team Folders to share them with users and groups and set up permissions.

The FileCloud web user interface can be used to seed and organize Team Folder data. The following steps must be followed to set up Team Folder data using the user portal.

Go to the Team Folders page in the admin portal to create Team Folders and seed them with files.

1. Open a browser and log in to the admin portal.
