Libraries

Libraries help you to organize your files and folders. A library gathers files from different locations and displays them as a single collection, without moving them from where they are stored. The navigation pane (in the left part of the Windows Explorer window) is the easiest place to access libraries. Click a library to open it and the content of all the folders included in your library will appear.
