  • Go to settings page "Virtual Folder" -> "Setting"

  • click "Import File Provider" button

  • Enter URL of West-Life Virtual Folder instance and click "OK". Pop up window will appear.

  • Select providers you would like to import and click "Import selected provider setting"

  • The settings will appear in confirmation dialog, you may change alias of providers in case there is conflict with existing one.

  • The settings are imported and available in your Virtual Folder instance.

A one-time RSA 2048 keys and AES encryption are used to transfer settings as they contain tokens or credentials to access your data. For technical details follow
