File Browser - Outlook AddIn

Introduction

 

The File Browser is similar to Windows Explorer or Mac OSX Finder. The files and folders in the File Browser are remote and stored in the Filecloud server rather than the local disk.


Starting with FileCloud 17.0, the Outlook add-in contains a remote file browser function to access, edit and view all files in FileCloud. This is an alternative to the web browser to access FileCloud. To open the File Browser, open the New Email window and click the File Browser button.
The File Browser user interface opens:
