How to... Collaborate Over a Server or the Web

If your company has an online server for filesharing, 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 Employee Manual Builder

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.
