FAQ
Where can I find the shortcut after I add it?
- Go back to the cloud folder that you selected during setup.
- Open that folder and check whether the spreadsheet shortcut entry is listed there.
- If you do not see it right away, confirm that your network connection is working and refresh the folder view.
What is the difference between a shortcut and a favorite?
- A shortcut is an access entry that can be placed in a selected folder location.
- A favorite is usually used to collect files in a favorites list for quick review.

Will deleting a shortcut affect the original file?
