- Enable access to download folder path (i.e.,SurePrep Download Folder).
- This is useful if your firm has users accessing client binders from multiple workstations on a shared network drive (for example, x:/SurePrepLocalFiles).
- To check if your firm's download folder path is on a shared network drive, go toFileRoomAdminAccount SetupDownload Files SetupSurePrep Download Folder.
- Run SPbinder Diagnostic tool.
- If you can open binders by opening PBFX files from FileRoom, no further action is needed. However, if the PBFX file doesn't open SPbinder, you may need to set PBFX to open SPbinder.
