Using The Apollo Utility - Promise Technology Apollo User Manual

Using the Apollo Utility for Mac and Windows
Mac and Windows users can use the Apollo Utility to share and store files from their computer. The Apollo Utility is used
the same way you use the Apollo Cloud App. The key difference is that the Apollo Utility includes the ability to "Sync"
contents to a folder on your computer. The Selective Sync function of Apollo is described later in this chapter. Also notice
that the Apollo Utility does not include the Camera Rolls function as it is a feature exclusively used for mobile devices.
Download the latest version of the utility and install it on a Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 operating systems, or Mac OS X
(10.8 or later) operating system, to begin using Apollo with your computer.
Apollo Cloud Utility sign in menu (Mac)
Launch the Apollo Cloud Utility and login the same way you do on a mobile device. If you are using the utility to claim a
new Apollo, the procedure is the same as the claim procedure for a mobile device, except there is no QR Code Scanner
option. Please see "Claiming Apollo: automatic method" on page 10 for a description of the claim procedure for the
Apollo.
To begin the discovery and claim procedure for a new Apollo, click on Find My Apollo and follow the on-screen
instructions.
To login to an existing Apollo account, click on Sign in and use the email address and password for your Apollo account.

Using the Apollo Utility

The main differences between the Apollo Cloud App and the Apollo Utility:
• Apollo Utility does not use Camera Rolls.
• Apollo Utility creates a Sync folder on your computer to synchronize
content that you can specify by folder. Create folders in the Apollo Sync
folder, then use the Selective Sync function to specify which folders are to
be synchronized. See "Using Selective Sync in Apollo Utility" on page 76
for details.
