Comparing ASUS WebStorage Sync and Remote Drive

When using ASUS WebStorage Sync to synchronize your files from the cloud to your computer, it is important to note that the files will be saved to the computer's hard drive and occupy disk space.

    3. A desktop shortcut will automatically be created to quickly access the "MySyncFolder".
    4. You can start duplicating or dragging files/folders into the "MySyncFolder". All files/folders in the "MySyncFolder" will be synchronized between the cloud and your computers.
    5. After synchronization is completed, view your files/folders in the ASUS WebStorage for Web, located under "MySyncFolder".
