Folders

The Folders  tool on the Cloud Tab of the ribbon opens LP360 Cloud in the default web browser, where you can manage, consult details and share your files with other users. Use the Folders  section to organize your data in the Cloud in the same manner you would organize them on your desktop. There are three special pinned folders, the LP360 Sample Data Folder, Cycle - Archive Folder, and the Support Folder, plus any Project Folders created using tools in LP360 Desktop. Selecting a folder will display the Cloud Layers contained therein.

All the data in LP360 Cloud Folders can be accessed by any user of an organization. This allows multiple users within the same organization to easily share and collaborate on data.
