The Rightworks File Manager allows you to upload and download files and folders (including backups) to your RN Desktop from anywhere. This process functions independently from the Rightworks Desktop.

The File Manager cannot be used from within the Rightworks Desktop. You must use the browser on your local computer or mobile device to access the File Manager.

To get started, open your web browser and navigate to https://filemanager.rightworks.com/. Enter your Rightworks credentials and click Log On.

1. Select your destination location (I:)* from the list of available locations on the left.

2. Click the Upload Files icon.
