Once added, you can browse your providers and perform one of the following actions:

  • open/edit files - depending on the platform you may use different applications as Slingshot relies on invoking 3rd party applications to do the job.

  • download files - you can download a file from a provider to your computer or device.

  • pin files to boards - organize your content using boards. Keep useful files at hand by pinning to personal boards. And share files with your team by pinning to team boards.
