Basic or advanced installation

When you install the WorkDrive sync app on a Windows computer, you may be asked whether to install the advanced or basic features. The advanced features need local administrator rights on the computer.

If you choose advanced, enter the local administrator password if your user account doesn't have administrator rights. You then get two extra features in the sync app: overlay icons and a contextual menu.

Overlay icons

Overlay icons show the sync status of your files and folders:

• Blue circle: sync in progress.
• Green tick: sync completed.
• Red exclamation mark: unable to sync.

Contextual menu

When you right-click a file or folder in your WorkDrive sync folder, the menu shows two extra options: Copy the WorkDrive link and View from WorkDrive.com (opens it in your browser).

When you right-click a document somewhere else on your computer, you also get the option Move to WorkDrive.
