11.1 Creating an iFolder for a User’s Account
You can create iFolders for a user’s account. A notification message advises the user that a new
iFolder is available to download from the server.
You cannot specify where on the individual computers that the iFolder is to be stored. Each user
decides where to set up the iFolder on his or her own computer. If you want users to each store
iFolders in the same relative location on their computers, you must coordinate that behavior outside
of iFolder. There is no way to enforce it using iFolder tools, of course.
