WebFolders allow you to drag-n-drop and cut-n-paste files between your PC and IBackup account and direct editing of supported Office files including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, from the Internet Explorer or Desktop. A WebFolder is a shortcut to a remote Internet folder like your IBackup account. It offers a convenient way to move files between your computer and IBackup account from within Windows Explorer using Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is recommended for corporate environments due to its firewall friendliness and full 128-bit SSL support.

WebFolders allow you to treat your IBackup account akin to a folder on Windows Explorer.
