- Accessing Spaces and Folders: After logging in, you’ll see the Nodes and Spaces you have access to. Click on a Space to browse its contents.
- Opening in Finder/Explorer: To open a Space or Folder in Finder or Explorer, click the 3 dots next to it and select your preferred option.
- Uploading and Downloading: You can upload folders and files by dragging them into the Desktop App, or download them faster than from the mounted volume.
