ADDING FILES

Existing Assets in your Hot Folder?

No problem - when you Add Connection you can choose to ignore or upload any existing files in your Hot Folder.

• Upload: All existing content will upload to globaledit. 
• Ignore: Only new content placed in that folder will be uploaded. Even if you pause and resume an upload, that ignored content will remain unsynced. 

Adding to Hot Folder

Drag and drop - copy and paste - or export files and/or folders into your Hot Folder.

As long as a connection is in place, globaledit desktop will detect new content and automate an upload to your globaledit destination.

 The revolving icon, at the top of your screen, indicates that an upload is actively taking place.

Selecting the revolving icon will display live updates on the current upload as well as a menu bar with various management options.
