About the desktop application

The desktop application keeps track of a single folder on your computer, called your synced folder. You can work with this folder as you would any other; you can save files to it, drag-and-drop files into it, delete files from it, and so on. The contents of this folder are automatically synchronized with the HCP Anywhere system and your other devices.

The desktop application needs to be running for the contents of your synced folder folder to be synchronized. Also, when the desktop application is running, any changes you make to your backed up files and folders are uploaded to the server. By default, the application starts when you log into your computer.

Using the desktop application, you can also backup files and folders from your computer. Backup helps ensure that your files are not only protected, but also accessible and up to date for whenever you may need them. Once files are backed up, they are protected on the HCP Anywhere server and accessible through the User Portal and your HCP Anywhere mobile applications. For more information on backup, see Backing up files and folders from your computer.

The desktop application also includes a taskbar or menu bar icon that lets you view the status of and configure the application. This icon is visible only when the application is running. For more information on this icon, see About the application icon.
