Backing Up Documents to FirstClass

If you have a small number of documents that you wish to backup temporarily and quickly, you can use your FirstClass desktop to do so.

Be careful! Your space in FirstClass is quite limited! You can only backup a few documents in the fashion described below!

To begin, log into FirstClass as usual.

Then locate the document(s) on your hard disk, and select them as follows:

To select a single document or folder, click it once.
To select two or more contiguous documents or folders (together in a line), click once on the first document/folder. Then press and hold the Shift key and click once on the last document/folder. Release the Shift key when finished.
To select two or more discontiguous documents or folders (not together), click once on the first document/folder. Then press and hold the key (Ctrl on Windows) and click once on each additional document/folder. Release the key (Ctrl on Windows) when finished.

When you have selected the desired documents and folders, drag them directly onto your FirstClass desktop (the window that you see as soon as you have logged into Firstclass—where you see your Mailbox icon).

You will see a window indicating the progress of the copying.

When you see that the transfer is 100% complete (near the top of the window), click Close.
