-===== 1 About the Plug-in =====
-{{:/firefox:steps:sme_1_about_the_plug-in.png}}
-The Access Anywhere Plug-In Client allows you to use a sophisticated Firefox plug-in as your control mechanism for Access Anywhere. Firstly you need Firefox and secondly you need to download and install the plug-in. This should be done using the Firefox browser. If you try and download it using another browser the plug-in can have its default extension changed from .xpi to .zip which will make it impossible for you to install in Firefox.\\ \\ You can download the plug in from our [[https://storagemadeeasy.com/clients_and_tools/#Integrations|Cloud Tools page]].\\
-===== 2 Installing the Plug-In =====
-{{:/firefox:steps:sme_2_installing_the_plug-.png}}
-\\ To install the Plug-In visit the Access Anywhere Tools page and click on the Plug-In installation file. It should automatically install. If it does not and you are   prompted to save the file, save it to a location and then choose File->Open from Firefox, locate the file and choose it. This will then enable the file to be installed. Note that Firefox will require a restart.\\ \\ After Firefox re-launches you will need to authenticate your Access Anywhere account within the Plug-In. To do this:\\ \\ 1. Select Access Anywhere from the button to the left of Options (highlighted in a red box in the above graphic)\\ 2. Choose 'Manage Accounts' and enter your Access Anywhere account details\\ 3. Choose 'Save'\\ \\ Note that you can have multiple Access Anywhere accounts using the PLug-In and change between them using the username drop-down.\\ \\ You should now see your file system on the left hand side and your Access Anywhere file system on the right hand side. You can drag single/multiple files/directories (or shift select files and click the arrows) from one to the other and they will be transferred. You can see their progress in the 'Regular Transfer' tab.\\ \\ Note that Access Anywhere is not responsible for any of the other choices available in the drop down box, just the Access Anywhere Option. For example if you wish to access your Google Docs via Access Anywhere you still need to choose the Access Anywhere option as outlined above.
