How to... Collaborate Over a Server

If your company has an online server for file-sharing, please ask your system administrator to "map the drive to your desktop." This way, you can easily browse to find the drive as if it were your "C:" drive, etc., then open and access the folder where you will share your business plan files.

If you do not have an online file-server…

We recommend IBackup



1) Sign-up for one of their "Workgroup Plans" as these will enable file-sharing, collaboration, back-up, etc. over the Internet (You can get 500MB for about $10/month)

2) Download their "iDrive" software and install it to automatically map their web-based "disk-drive" to your desktop (it will become your "I" drive).

3) Drag the "JIAN Documents" folder from "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents" folder to the Ibackup folder.

4) Log-in to BizPlanBuilder

5) Select "All Access Full Control"

6) Click the 'Change' button and browse for your new IBackup drive which should now appear on your desktop (Start --> My Computer --> C:)



7) Click on "JIAN Documents." Create a new folder for your business plan.

8) Click: [x] Make this my default path to remember your login info for you.

9) Communicate to your collaborators that they must visit IBackup and follow steps 2-6. (You will need to provide them with your IBackup log-in and password)

Note: It may be slow going at first, but once you have an actual Word or Excel document loaded for editing, you will be able to work faster.
