02 / REAL WORKFLOWS

From opening a path to getting files there.

Every workflow shown here comes from the tutorials: connect network storage, start LAN sharing, or set up cross-device sync.

NETWORK / 01

Remote locations, as clear as local folders.

Save network connections, filter by protocol, sort, or pin them. Connect and continue in a remote file view.

SHARE / 02

Share an address. Keep control of access.

Start a LAN sharing service, then let recipients connect through an address or QR code. Viewing, downloading, and uploading have separate permissions.

Start with quick sharing

SYNC / 03

Turn repeated transfers into a reliable routine.

Use local, device, or network endpoints. Verify a manual run first, then enable interval sync as needed.
