Secure Mobile Access 12.4 WorkPlace User Guide

Using the Network Explorer

The Network Explorer enables you to work with network files and folders on a network using a Web browser much as if you were working locally on the network. The Network Explorer page displays shared folders or files that you have permission to access. You can browse these domains, servers, shares, folders, and files by clicking links on the Network Explorer page. The navigation pane at the left displays a list of resources available on your network. The pane on the right enables you to work with folders and files.

Accessing some items may require you to log in, if special permissions are required for that item. Modern Workplace first attempts to access network resources using your Modern Workplace login credentials; if the resource requires different credentials, you are prompted to supply them.

The File Share Controls describes the controls at the top of the File Share window.

To update the contents of the navigation pane, click Reload on the top menu. This ensures that you are viewing the latest version of a network resource. For example, if you create a new file or folder and it does not show up in the navigation pane, click Reload to update the display.

Depending on your network environment, you may be able to access folders on your networked desktop computer, mobile device, etc. To do this, you must make those folders available using the Windows Sharing feature on that computer. See your Windows documentation for more information about sharing folders.
