The folders are named <firmID>.<portalID>. Dialogs like these include a folder for each portal user who has opened the application through Virtual Office CS or SaaS.

The internet is made of thousands of independent servers that are connected. As data is delivered across the internet from the Virtual Office CS or SaaS servers to your computer, it travels through servers owned by third-party telecommunications companies. If one of those servers drops the connection, your Virtual Office CS or SaaS session will probably drop with it. We can often resolve the issue by notifying the appropriate provider of the problem. (The appropriate party may be your internet provider, a third-party internet backbone provider, or one of our providers.) Determining where the drop occurs is the first step in addressing this issue.
Various utilities are available for monitoring connectivity issues. For example, PingPlotter (from Nessoft, LLC — pingplotter.com) is an application that allows you to monitor connectivity issues. You can download an evaluation copy of PingPlotter (or purchase a license ) and use it to test your connection to our server, netlinksolution.com . PingPlotter saves a history of the test data to a file. The reports PingPlotter generates allow you to see which server or router is causing the issue.
Note: As a security measure, some servers in our data centers do not respond to test traffic. These servers show up as non-responsive connections, but will pass the test data on.
Disconnects are generally caused by a temporary drop in your internet connection. At times, you may not be able to re-open the application because the server does not recognize that you are connected to the internet. In this situation, you need to force the session to close by completing the following steps.
- In the system tray, right-click the Program Neighborhood Connection Center icon and choose Open Connection Center .
- Highlight the server name, which displays as a series of letters and numbers, and click the Logoff button.
- After the logoff process is complete, re-open the application.
If the steps above do not resolve the problem, try using the Log Off Applications utility.
When you open an application through Virtual Office CS or SaaS, Virtual Office CS or SaaS maps your local printers to our servers. The length of time it takes to complete this resource-intensive mapping process increases based on the number of printers that are installed on your computer. Therefore, deleting unused printers or test printers from your computer may decrease the amount of time it takes to launch applications in the Virtual Office CS or SaaS environment.
Yes. You can copy files up to 4 GB from a local network drive.
Printing questions

Rename your local printer. To do this, choose Windows button > Settings > Printers, right-click the printer, choose Rename from the shortcut menu, and enter a shorter name. (For example, HP LaserJet 4si PCL6e can be shortened to HP 4Si).
Many drivers in Virtual Office CS or SaaS are set up to map to alternate print drivers to ensure that you use the most reliable and stable print driver for the environment.
