Opening Files

You can open a file to display its contents; however, any changes that you make to the file will not be saved to the network. To modify the contents of a file, you must download a copy of the file to your computer, save your changes to the copied file, and then upload the new version of the file to the network.

To open a file, double-click the file that you want to open.

• web content opens in a new browser window
• other files open in their native applications.

If the application required to open a file cannot be found, you are prompted to save or open the file.

Certain types of files, such as executable files or data files with proprietary file formats, must be downloaded or saved. They cannot be opened directly.
