If you're concerned about Hivenet using space on your hard drive, don't worry! We're here to explain how it works and help you manage your storage effectively.

Installing Hivenet creates a special folder on your computer that automatically syncs with our secure cloud storage. Any files you put in this folder are backed up to the cloud, making them accessible from any device - your computer, phone, or tablet. Many popular cloud storage services use this method as it simplifies the backup process and ensures your files are always protected.

The best part? You have complete control over your storage space. If you want to free up space on your hard drive, simply keep your files in the cloud and remove them from your local Hivenet folder. You can choose which folders and files to keep on your computer and which ones to store exclusively in the cloud. This flexibility allows you to manage your hard drive space according to your preferences and needs.

On desktop computers, files uploaded to Hivenet are available locally by default. This means you can access your files directly from your computer, even without an internet connection. However, if you sign out of your Hivenet account on your desktop, your files will only be available in the cloud and not on your local device.

On mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets, files are available only in the cloud by default. This approach helps optimize storage space on mobile devices, which often have limited capacity compared to desktop computers.

Hivenet is compatible with a wide range of devices, including:
