-There are two web Cloud File Managers for the Storage Made Easy platform. One is named "File Manager" and the other is named "Lite File Manager". The difference between the two is that the File Manager has slightly richer functionality. The Lite File Manager works on lower specified browsers and only loads the current directory view, reloading view each time you click between directories. For the purposes of differentiating between the two, we will refer to one as the 'Rich File Manager' and the other as the 'Lite File Manager'.\\ \\  If you have more than one cloud mapped to your account, both file managers show a unified view of your files in one directory structure. You will always know where your files are stored as you will see an icon representing the Cloud Storage vendor to the right of the file.\\ \\ **Things you should know from the start !**\\ \\  1. If you delete your cloud files in Storage Made Easy you are actually deleting them on the storage provider where they are actually located, but also note that **they will not be deleted until you empty the trash.**\\ \\  2. Your files don't move from your storage provider. All the Storage Made Easy platform is to provider a view of your files and enhance functionality and access points.
+The Enterprise File Fabric's Web File Manager provides end-users and administrators with access to the files and folders stored on the various Providers that are connected t the File Fabric. Where two or more providers are connected and visible, the Web File Manager treats each as a top level directory in the root of the File Fabric's virtual file system.
+The Web File Manager is available for all major browsers and operating systems.
