DocsPlus Universal for Windows / Mac

Share files via cloud storage

Cloud storage is a folder on the internet that you can access from any device. You can open / save files to this folder just like any other. Saving a file using one device will automatically sync it to your other devices (e.g. save a file using a Windows PC and then open it on an iPad).

You can also make certain files / folders available to other people (on a read-only basis or with full editing control). These will then appear in their cloud storage for easy access.

Sign up to a provider

If you don’t already have a cloud storage account, you can sign up to a free provider:

• Dropbox - www.dropbox.com
• Google Drive - drive.google.com
• OneDrive - onedrive.live.com

Install the provider's App

Download and install the provider's app:

• Dropbox - www.dropbox.com/install
• Google Drive - www.google.com/drive/download
• OneDrive - www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/onedrive/download

This will create a folder on your computer that automatically syncs with your cloud storage.

Note: Windows PCs already have OneDrive and Macs already have iCloud.
