After successful login you will get an application window with upload, download, and standard file browser functionality.

Your MyFiles application window consists of

• Bottom info line with links to legal documents

Most partners have only one up- and download area named “My Files”. For general data exchange please always use this “My Files” workspace.

As a project partner you may have access to more than one workspace area for software and data exchange.

You find the name of your current workspace in the ActionBar. The start-up workspace is your personal folder “My Files”. If necessary choose another workspace from the “Workspaces” drop-down list in the MenuBar.

Downloading files is easy, intuitive, and standard:

The web-based “MyFiles” service offers all functions of a standard desktop file browser (like Windows Explorer) including

• Copy and move files
• View images and some other file formats
• Directly view and edit text files

These functions can be accessed from the ActionBar or from the context menu that pops up with a right-click in the File List, i.e.

• for file operations right-click on a file or file selection
• for directory operations right-click on the white background

We strongly recommend to change your password with first login.

• Move mouse pointer over your user name (top right)
• In drop-down menu > Select Change Password
• In Change Password dialog window:
  • Enter old password
  • Enter new password (2 times)
  • Click on

You need to log out after finishing the file transfers. Simply closing the browser does not log you out and may leave a security hole open that allows other users or hackers to use your login and to access your data.

To log out click on “Your User Name” > “Log out” on the right side of the MenuBar.
