When iFolder is running, the iFolder application icon appears
in the Notification area of the taskbar. iFolder is integrated in
the desktop environment. The iFolder emblem (green “i”)
appears
on iFolders when viewed in a file manager, on the desktop, or in
the iFolder Browser.
IMPORTANT:The Notification area of the taskbar must be enabled in order for the iFolder application icon to be displayed when iFolder is running.
You can work locally with files in your local iFolders at any time. Whenever the iFolder client is running, it logs the changes you make to local iFolder data as you work. If you make changes to local iFolder data when iFolder is not running, iFolder identifies and logs the differences the next time you start iFolder.
When iFolder is not running, iFolders appears as a normal
folder in
the file manager or on the desktop. You can access files in your
local copy of an iFolder, but you cannot manage iFolders. In addition,
you must log in to an account to create an iFolder or synchronize
its files.
