To sync trays with SkyDrive

Syncing trays with SkyDrive

Premium feature

In Corel CONNECT, you can sync your trays with SkyDrive and have access to your content from other computers or mobile devices. You must have a SkyDrive account to use this feature. After you sign in, you can see all your SkyDrive folders in the Libraries pane in Corel CONNECT and view their content in the viewing pane.

When you delete files from the trays, the files are also deleted from SkyDrive when the trays are synced.

After you sign in, your SkyDrive folders appear in the Libraries pane.

Trays are stored in Users\[UserName]\Documents\Corel\Corel Content\Trays. Each tray is stored as a separate folder. If the trays have never been synced with SkyDrive, each tray folder contains shortcuts to the files that have been added to the tray, while the actual files remain in their original location. However, when you sync the trays with SkyDrive, all files added to the trays are copied from their original location to the respective tray folder.

When you sync trays with SkyDrive, the synced files appear in the following SkyDrive folder: SkyDrive\Apps\Corel\Trays.

For more information about Corel CONNECT, see Finding and managing content.
