Lenovo 183825U Sharing your Internet connection, Using cloud-based synchronization application

Using cloud-based synchronization application

Your computer also might be preinstalled with a could-based synchronization application, Arcsync. The cloud technology enables the application to store massive resources, software, and information on a remote cloud server. Those stored resources, software, and information are the so-called cloud. Through a cloud-based application or a Web browser, users can access the cloud and view or download needed information, as well as uploading files and information to the cloud server.

If your tablet is preinstalled with Arcsync, touch Arcsync from the application library to launch it. When the Arcsync application opens, you can upload files to the cloud server by doing the following:

1.Touch ArcDisc. The uploaded files are displayed.

2.Touch the menu icon to access additional menus.

3.Touch Upload.

Download a could-based synchronization application from Google Play or Lenovo App Shop if the Arcsync application is not available on your tablet.
