Explorer Options

You can customize the locations in the left pane of the DocsPlus Explorer.

 

To do this, click  in the Options ribbon tab.

 

To prevent users from changing these options, see Exam Mode.

Home

This is the default location shown when opening/saving files.

 

You can redirect Home to a cloud storage account, or another folder on your device/network.

 

If you have an account with any of these cloud storage providers, and have their app installed, you can select it as the Home location:

 

• iCloud - only on Mac.
• OneDrive - pre-installed on Windows. Macs require the OneDrive app to be installed: www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/onedrive/download
• Google Drive - requires the Drive for Desktop app to be installed: www.google.com/drive/download
• Dropbox - requires the Dropbox app to be installed: www.dropbox.com/install

If a provider is dimmed out, DocsPlus can't detect their app on your device.

 

If Local or Network is selected, Home will point to the folder displayed beneath it.

 

To change this location to any folder on your device/network, click Browse.

 

To revert to the default location again, click Default.

 

For standalone installs of DocsPlus, the default is usually:

 

• Windows - C:\Users\Public\Documents\DocsPlus
• Mac - Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Crick Software/DocsPlus

For network installs of DocsPlus, the default is usually a network folder chosen by your IT Support.
