Working with Your Files
There are a number of options available for file management that are not performed from the toolbar, but from the icons and file names themselves.

To view a file

  1. Navigate to the directory in which you wish to view files.
  2. Open the file by clicking on it once. You may be prompted to either open the file or save it. Choose to open the file in order to view it.

To edit a file

  1. Navigate to the directory where the files you wish to edit are located.
  2. Next, click on the file once to open it and then save the file locally to edit. After clicking on the file, you will be prompted to either open the file or save it. Save the file locally to your machine. Once you've saved the file to your local hard drive, you may then edit it and upload the file back to the vault.

To download a file

  1. Navigate to the directory in which the files you wish to download are located.
  2. Click on the file's name once. You will either be prompted to open or save the file (depending on the file's type) or the file may open automatically in a new browser window. Should the file open in a browser window, you can choose "Save As" from the browser's File menu and save the file to your local machine.
