Overview

Commonly used documents can be stored in the Cloud Drive, a selection in the left-hand menu of your software, to access them anytime from any computer that has a connection to the internet and access to the database.

The database is seeded with default folders, that contain the documents that you have uploaded within other modules. For Example: There is a default Events folder in your cloud, and when expanded you will see folders for each of your events, and within those folders find the documents, images, etc. that you have uploaded for the event in the events module.
