This article provides and overview of the Jungle Disk Desktop Edition installation wizard.  We also offer a demo video of a typical installation to assist you with getting started.

Account Information

Once the Jungle Disk Desktop Edition software is installed, the first step will be to enter your Jungle Disk account credentials into the software.

 

Create New Online Disk

After logging in with your Jungle Disk credentials, you will now need to create an online disk where all of your data will be stored.  You can select from the various cloud storage providers to store your data by clicking the "Change" link next to the Online Disk Location field.  This page also allows you to change the name of your online disk (the online disk name cannot be changed later) and the security level of the online disk.

 

Jungle Disk Desktop Features

Now that you have created an online disk, the next step is to select the various features that you want to enable within Jungle Disk.  You can always enable or disable any of these features later via the Configuration area of the software.

Automatic Backup

During the next step, you will configure the Automatic Backup functionality.  As mentioned, you can always enable or change the settings you select here at a later time via the Configuration area of the Jungle Disk Desktop Edition software.

Network Drive

To enable the Network Drive feature, simply select your desired Drive Letter (Windows) or Drive Name (Mac/Linux) and the maximum cache size to be used.

** Please note that if you are running Antivirus software you will want to ensure it is properly configured to ignore the Jungle Disk Network Drive and not scan it.  Failure to do so could result in undesired activity to your Network Drive.

The Jungle Disk Workgroup Desktop Sync feature works with a cloud-based Network Drive to help make your data available anytime, anywhere. By selecting specific folders on your computers to leverage the Sync feature, those folders will stay in sync across all of your computers.
