Qbox can be used to share your files with yourself at work, at home, or anywhere with internet access. To install Qbox and access your folders/files on multiple computers you will need to create a separate Qbox account using a unique email address for each computer. Follow the instructions outlined below if you have multiple desktop computers, laptops, or tablet PCs on which you would like to use the Qbox Explorer. Please note, the Qbox Explorer can only be installed on Windows devices at this time.
- You will first need to identify if you are going to use the account on the additional device as a Shared User or as a Team Member of an existing Team (note: Team Members working remotely will not be able to work in Qbox MU mode). Shared Users will need to be invited to each Sync folder individually, while Team Members will automatically have access to all of the Team Owner’s Sync folders. A Shared User can use an email from any domain, public or private, but if you are creating an account that will be a Team Member, that email’s domain must match the private domain of the Team Owner. You may need to consult with your IT professional or whoever manages your company’s private email domain to create additional email addresses to be used as a Team Member.

- Once you have the email address(es) prepared to be invited to Qbox, please proceed to invite the email(s) as a Shared User or Team Member and install the Qbox Explorer on your additional computer(s). For more information about inviting users to a Sync folder, click here.
