Requirements

Prior to using webfolders, you must have

• Microsoft Office (i.e. Word, Excel, Powerpoint) installed on your home computer, preferably the same version or higher, to edit any of your documents.
• Internet access from home, preferably DSL or cable.

Webfolder Login

From off-campus, open a web browser, enter the web address webfolders.pacific.edu

PacificNet ID:  your PacificNet ID
Password :      your PacificNet password
Campus:         SF  (The default is “STK”.  Click the dropdown arrow to select “SF”)

When login successfully, the following screen appears:

The main area is divided into two panels –

• Left panel – Windows Explorer-like.   It lists the folders and files on your remote drive.   Use this panel to download file(s) from school to your local drive off-campus.
• Right panel – The File Upload panel.   Use this panel to upload file(s) from home to “U” drive.

To download file(s) from school network drive to off-campus drive

In the left panel, doubleclick the blue “Get” link next to the file to be downloaded:

The File Download dialog window appears.   Press “Save” to save the file to the off-campus drive.   If you just want to view the file, press “Open”.

Important: If this downloaded document is revised on your off-campus computer and you intend it to replace the one on the school network, you must perform the upload process (see below)

To upload file(s) from off-campus drive to school network drive:

In the File Upload panel, click Browse:

The Choose File dialog window appears.   Navigate to the file to be uploaded; selected it, then click "Open".

The name of the selected file populated into the File Upload panel.   After all the files (up to 8 at one time) have been selected, press the Upload button.

A upload progress bar will appear.   If the upload is successful,  the name of the uploaded file(s) is displayed at the bottom of the File Upload panel.

If  a file with the same name already exists on the school network, choose "OK" to overwrite or "Cancel" to cancel the upload.
