Sharing Your Internet Connection - Lenovo Thinkpad User Manual

Using cloud-based synchronization application
Your computer also might be preinstalled with a could-based synchronization application, Arcsync. The
cloud technology enables the application to store massive resources, software, and information on a
remote cloud server. Those stored resources, software, and information are the so-called cloud. Through
a cloud-based application or a Web browser, users can access the cloud and view or download needed
information, as well as uploading files and information to the cloud server.
If your tablet is preinstalled with Arcsync, touch Arcsync from the application library to launch it. When the
Arcsync application opens, you can upload files to the cloud server by doing the following:
1. Touch ArcDisc. The uploaded files are displayed.
2. Touch the menu icon
3. Touch Upload.
Download a could-based synchronization application from Google Play or Lenovo App Shop if the Arcsync
application is not available on your tablet.
