To accept an invitation to join a Fileserver

As a "guest," you were invited by someone you know to join his or her Nomadesk Fileserver. By accepting the invitation, you will download a small piece of software enabling you to share, synchronize and back up files by simply dragging them on to your Fileserver, which looks like a mounted disk on your desktop (Mac OS) or a separate drive (Windows).

  1. You receive an email from Nomadesk on behalf of the person who invited you.
    Note: Sometimes Nomadesk invitation emails can land in spam folders.
  2. Click the Join [name of person who invited you] Fileserver now link in the email.
  3. On the guest sign-up page, enter your First Name, Last Name, Phone number, and create a password. Then, click Continue.
  4. Click the Download Now button.
  5. Choose Run to download and install the Dashboard software. Once downloaded, the Nomadesk Installation Wizard will appear.
  6. Click Next to continue and step through the installation process.

    After installation, you will be asked to restart your computer. Once you've restarted, the Nomadesk Configuration Wizard screen will appear.

  7. In the Configuration Wizard, enter the email address that was used to invite you. You now see the Fileserver(s) you were invited to.
  8. Select the Fileserver(s), and, in Windows, assign a drive letter to each of them.
  9. Now, simply wait for all the files to start synchronizing (or copying) over to your computer.

    Nomadesk copies files to each computer which is part of the owner’s network, as well as to the Nomadesk’s central servers.
