What is Foldr?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Foldr<\/strong><\/a> web app enables access to files and documents anywhere and at any time. Foldr<\/strong> acts as a gateway between the college system, your favourite cloud services and all of your connected devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.<\/p>\n

With the Foldr<\/strong> web app, you can access your files from any device with a web browser. It is easy to preview, download and upload both files and folders. You can also manage your work by renaming, deleting and moving documents just as you would on a PC.<\/p>\n

Foldr<\/strong> uses your existing college username and password to provide access to your documents folder and shared college drives such as the Public drive (P drive).<\/p>\n

To access Foldr<\/strong> simply type the following web address into your browser and login with your college credentials (username and password).<\/p>\n
