Open the web browser, type in the address:
drivehq.com
it displays DriveHQ.com home page (Picture 1). Enter your username and password and then click on Logon. It goes to drivehq.com “My Storage” page where you can see a list of files and folders. You can view image files and text files, download or manage files, share different folders to different users with different permissions. You can also access the Group Administration page and create / manage sub-users.
Please note web browsers for iPhone / iPad do not support file uploading. (This is not a DriveHQ issue). To upload files, you must use FTP or WebDAV, which will be described later.
Browsers on Android and WP support file uploading. So you can upload files using browser, FTP, and WebDAV.
