PilatusBox User Help

Desktop application folder

In your PilatusBox folder, you can:

  • Perform normal files and folder operations
  • Perform special PilatusBox operations

    These includes sharing links to files and folders, creating collaborative folders, and viewing file history.

  • Choose which files are saved locally to your computer and which remain remotely in PilatusBox

    Local files and remote files function differently. For information on this, see Saving files locally or keeping them remote.

Your PilatusBox folder and your PilatusBox account are also connected. If you add a file into the PilatusBox folder on your computer, for example, that file appears in the PilatusBox website as well as on the other PilatusBox applications you have installed. And vice versa.

Important

The PilatusBox folder may contain a number of hidden folders with names that include .hcpaw. To ensure that the desktop application functions properly, do not rename, move, delete, or edit these folders or their contents.
