Adding a file to IBM Connections for Mac

Add a file from your desktop to IBM Connections for Mac.

About this task

When you add a file from your desktop to your local sync folder, a copy is made on the corresponding server. The files are synced so that changes made to one copy of the file are also made to the other.

Procedure

  • Drag and drop a file into your local sync folder.
  • Save a file to your sync folder from a desktop application.
  • To begin syncing a file after it has already been added to Connections or Connections Cloud:
    1. In a web browser, navigate to your Sync folder in IBM SmartCloud or Connections.
    2. Click the Add Files button. Select the file you want to sync and click Add Files.

What to do next

To stop syncing a file, for example, when you do not want changes that you make to a local file copied to the server copy, right-click a file in your Connections or Connections Cloud sync folder and choose IBM Connections. Click the Remove from sync button in the Sync tab and click Remove in the following dialog box to confirm. The file is removed from the local sync folder but the server file is preserved. To remove the local file and the server copy, click Delete from Server.
