Make sure you are clicked on ‘Registered User’, and enter your user name and district password, click ‘Connect’

Double click on your name:

(if your name is gray, then you are already logged in; click on the finder, and choose your building server and click on your name) If you need, open another Finder window (you need 2 open) by choosing File, ‘New Finder Window’

When you have 2 windows open side by side (can adjust windows by pulling on the bottom right corner), make sure that your server window is on one side, and your Documents folder is in the other window. Your server folder is the blue icon with 3 white figures holding hands.

Select all your Documents (in the Documents folder, use Command+A) and drag them to your Documents folder in your Server folder.

(when selected, will turn blue)

A window will pop open that will tell you your Documents are preparing to copy:

Next, click ‘Apply to All’ and click ‘Replace’:

By doing this, you will only update the new files.
