Tourwriter lets you store images, report files, booking email templates and copies of sent emails mapped to the Tourwriter app within your My Secure Backup (MSB) shared drive. Through your MSB drive, you can host an online file server / network drive, which is shared with all your organisation staff members. Each staff member must set up access to the online file server / network drive from their own computer.
Use this document as a quick-start user guide to get up and running with the Online Drive, and troubleshoot common issues.

Running the My Secure Backup Software
Open My Computer and look for you new Drive (eg S: drive). Double-click to open the drive, and use it just the same as you would any other drive, adding folders files etc. and managing them as you wish.
Note that there will be a delay the first time you upload or open each folder, or file, as the data is transferred from the internet. But after this it is cached (copied) locally and will be just as fast as normal.
Running the drive with Tourwriter
New Tourwriter users should create a folder called TourwriterData and link Tourwriter to it (in Tourwriter go to Tools > Setup > Folder options, and browse to the new TourwriterData folder).
Existing Tourwriter users can drag-drop their existing TourwriterData folder into their new online drive (note the initial sync can take a couple of hours), and then re-link it in Tourwriter (Tools > Setup > Folder options, and browse to the new TourwriterData folder).
Activity Monitor and Settings
Either double-click the My Secure Backup icon in the taskbar at bottom right of your computer screen to open the Activity Monitor, or open My Secure Backup Activity Monitor and Settings from the Windows Start menu.
From here you can click Configure 
on the top right to change settings.
