Here's some help to get you going. 1. Create an Account Go to the sign up link below the main header. Fill in the appropriate blank fields. After you input a user name and password, you will be prompted via e-mail to confirm your information. However, the application should start immediately. At your log in, the screen should display your Summary, where your profile is stored with a bevy of choices: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lists Lists are electronic documents that complile your files into deliverable e-mail links. You can create a one-item list that includes one uploaded file (see files if you need more information), or assign several uploaded files the same list. 1. Creating Lists When you go to the Create List link above your personal list of files, a dialogue box appears with the following options: • Lists • Files Lists offers the option to create a list of lists. Files offers the option to create a list of files which the recipients of your files may view in an e-mailed document. Check all boxes next to the files or lists you wish to save in your new list. The list should appear in your Summary Box. You may wish to sort your files and lists according their calendar date. To do this, click "Sort files chronologically". Your documents should then line up by the date of their creation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Files The documents, images, or any other type of electronic file you upload into Fliles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your recipients may receive e-mail links that will take them to your lists or directly uploaded files. To send a link, follow these steps: • Click on the link reading "E-mail Files/Links" • Input the address, name, and subject fields as directed • Check the boxes next to the files and/or lists you wish to send • Click the "Send E-mail" button below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uploading Files The heart of Fliles' operation. To gather your documents into your personal Summary... • Click the Upload Files link. You may also scroll down with the right hand side scroll bar until you reach a series of open white field boxes. Click "Browse" • Find your file on your computer. Once you find the file... • Click "Upload" The upload time should vary depending on the size of your file. You have up to 500Mb of space, so the time the file takes to upload will mainly depend on your machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Groups Assemblages of users with agreed passwords and access to the established group. To create a group with shared access... Click on the "My Group" link. To start a new group, Click the "Administrator" link on the bottom of the dialogue box. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Profile The information stored on your Fliles account. To make changes (i.e, changing password, etc.)... • Click the "Edit Profile" link at the top of the screen. • Under the "File List Settings" section, you may choose to allow access to your files by password only. If you choose to do this, fill in the username and password fields. Then, check the circle next to the word "Protected" so that it displays a green dot in the center. This password will then be required by anyone attempting to access your files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troubleshooting 1. Why is it taking so long to upload to Fliles? The culprit of a slow upload is usually a slow connection. Contact your Internet Service Provider to make certain that your service is running at optimal speed. 2. Why is it taking so long to download from Fliles? Fliles manages your data on a vast server, allowing you easy and safe access. A slow connection does not change the efficiency of the program, but it elongates the time necessary for your machine to catch up with Fliles. The problem may be as simple as deleting inconsequential data to free up some throughput, or complicated as to neccessitate help from your provider. |
