menu, the selected file or folder will be zipped and downloaded automatically,
without the need to open the Multi!Download tab with file selections.

Did you know?
Your files that have Keywords or Meta-Data already defined is compatible and searchable on FilesAnywhere.com?
For example, a .pdf Document that may contain Meta-Data Fields such as: SSN=123456789 and Keywords such as: Client=00XX1999XX is searchable once the file is indexed in your account!
You can instantly locate specific files in your account according to
information already stored on the file.
There is a Timeout limit on file searches. This prevents unwanted very long searches, and conserves system resources on the FilesAnywhere servers, to support a large number of simultaneous file searches. To prevent the Timeout, always limit the folders of your search to a specific parent folder, and try using file name patterns, such as "*.doc", to limit the search scope.
