| Important Tips |
 |
The folder image will be displayed inside most of the widgets, so if you don't have an image for your folder, we suggest you add one. Simply go to the 'Folder Settings' page and upload the image you want. |
|
The name of the folder or file is included in most of the widgets. We suggest that you choose a short, descriptive name so it'll be easy to understand what the file or folder is about. To change the name of your folder go to the Folder Settings page. To change a file name go the "Edit" page by clicking on the "Edit Details" link next to the file. |
