If you've just signed up for Jottacloud, and don't know what to do next, or just want to learn, read about our apps and programs, and how to get started with backup here.
First of all, we advise all customers to download the Jottacloud program for computers. The program is meant to ease upload and download of files, and to give you better control over the transfer of data.
You can find the program here (choose your corresponding Operative System).
By using Jottacloud you can store data in three different ways:
Synchronized files
Backed up files
Archived files

Read more about that here.
The overview of the website, where you can access the archive, looks like this:
