Step 1: Log into Quickaccess (http://www.quickaccess.net) with your computer and you will see instructions on how to download the Quickaccess Desktop Agent. Click on the link to download and follow the wizard. This step will get your computer securely connected to the Quickaccess service.
Hint: As you go through the wizard, you will get a chance to define which folders you want to have access to when you are mobile. These folders will be accessible from your phone, PDA, or another computer system. These are also the folders that you will be able to share with other people.

You can click on the icon for any computer to see the share status information and to control who may access shared resources.

Using Groups |

Groups are the ideal way to address more than one person. Whenever you share a folder, you can specify a group name to address multiple users. By default, anyone you share with will be in a group called "Contacts".
To define new groups, go to the Account Setup after you login. Choose the Group tab.
You can search any of your shared computers, but first you must have a Desktop Search installed. Quickaccess supports all the major search products including:
 Google Desktop
 Windows
The Quickaccess Agent will automatically detect each program. Double click on the Quickaccess icon in the status bar to check that your search is enabled.
