If you always want to be in the main

When reconnecting the portable computer to the main computer (or inserting removable disks containing modified files), the briefcase automatically updates the files on the main computer to the modified version.

It is not necessary to remove the modified file from the "Briefcase" or delete the existing copy on the main computer.

The briefcase stores files and displays the status of the files.

For example, it can show whether a file is linked to the original file of the host computer, or whether a file is an isolated file.

This information helps you organize files and prevent accidental deletion or duplication on the latest version of the file.
