How To Move Files From Your Local Computer To Your Cloud Computer

There are several metods you can use to copy files from your local computer or server onto the cloud computer so that all of your team can access them.

Drag and Drop Files

Step 1

Log into your cloud computer

Step 2

Select your files on your local computer and drag and drop them anywhere on the cloud computer desktop. A message in the lower right will show the progress. Note: you cannot upload folders or EXE files using this method, only files. Tip: you can upload batches of files by selecting many of them, right-clicking, and sending them to a Compressed (zipped) folder, then dragging and dropping that file onto the cloud computer desktop. Do the same for any EXE files you need to upload.

Step 3

After your files have finished uploading they will appear in the Local Uploads folder on your cloud desktop. This is a virtual folder so you will need to move them into the folders where you need them on the C drive or other drive we may have created for you. Do not open your files while they are in the Local Uploads folder.

Using OneDrive, DropBox, or other file storage services

Any of your cloud computer users who have administrative rights can install OneDrive, DropBox, or any other file storage system you are using. Then you can use your files as you normally would. Tip: set files to “offline” so that they will not all be synced to the hard drive of your cloud computer - taking up drive space.
