The File Exchange

The File Exchange is a tool that permits Registered Users to share files (including Decks/Backgrounds, Spreads and Card Notes). Uploaded files are cached on a central server (for a set period of time) which minimises the stress on the sharer's machine.

 

To Open the File Exchange:

    1. From the Orphalese Desktop, click on the grid to display the Orphalese Menu. Click File Exchange.
