See Video for detailed steps with explanations

If you have created the shortcut already, skip to Step 4

Step 1 Create a folder Sync Folder
This folder will be used to Sync Files with your Remote Folder on our server. In this example we named it B1 Sync and placed it on our desktop. Inside we placed another folder called Processed. This lets us move files into that folder once we are not longer working with them to reduce the load time when entering that folder.

Step 2 Download the RDP File "User Folder" and Navigate to your Sync Folder
Log in to https://connect.business1cloud.com/ using cloud\USERCODE

Navigate to the Tools Folder

Download "User Files" RDP file and log in

Navigate to the location of your File

Step 3 Create Shortcut on Remote Desktop Folder
Left Click Folder to highlight, Right Click Folder, select "Send to" > Desktop (Create Shortcut)

Step 4 Pin to Quick Access
Now that we have a shortcut saved, the process for pinning will be easier in the future and you can skip to this step.

Navigate to the Desktop in RDP, left click the Shortcut to select it, Right Click, then Left Click Pin to Quick access

Step 5 Your setup is complete
Now you can navigate to your folder via the Quick access bar and click the Sync Folder you created.
We would recommend Pinning the Folder on your local computer as well. Any file can now be dragged and dropped or copied and pasted into that folder to transfer to or from the cloud.
