There are a number of ways you can make it easy for yourself to get to your own data: WesFiles Bookmarks, Browser Bookmarks, PC Shortcuts, or Mac Aliases.
WesFiles Bookmarks
If you are using the web interface, you will see a “bookmarks” pane on the left. Bookmarks to your home directory and to the root are built in. You can add custom bookmarks by clicking on the “bookmark” icon to the right of a file or folder in the main contents listing. This is a handy way to be able to jump right to your own course folders, for example. Please note that you can edit your bookmarks after the fact by clicking on the “edit” link at the top of the bookmarks pane. It can be helpful to rename bookmarks, for example, so that instead of a course number, you could see a course name as your bookmark.
Browser Bookmarks
Since all files and folders in WesFiles have their own distinctive URLs, you can also create bookmarks either in your browser or with a web-based bookmarking tool like del.icio.us. In one sense it might be helpful to keep your WesFiles bookmarks together with other bookmarks. On the other hand, you will often have to reauthenticate when using bookmarks external to WesFiles.
Windows Shortcuts
If you are running the Xythos Drive, you can put shortcuts on your desktop (or elsewhere) that will jump right to your own content. One way to do this is to right-click on the desktop and then choose New > Shortcut, then browse to the appropriate file or folder.
Mac Aliases
If you have mounted WesFiles in your Mac Finder, then you can make an Alias on your desktop by holding down the “command” and “option” keys while dragging and dropping the material you want from the finder window to the desktop, the dock, or wherever else you like.
