How does Archive This work?
Archive This redirects file links on a web page to our download service. Instead of downloading the page to your computer through your own connection, the page will be transferred to your Xdrive using our fast, secure server-to-server connection. After the download is complete, you can access the file anytime, from anywhere using Xdrive Web or Desktop. It's a great way to store all of your archived content in a centralized location.
To use Archive This with Xdrive Desktop: - Right-click the link to the page that you would like to download.
- Select Save To Xdrive from the menu.
- When prompted, enter your Xdrive username and password to begin the Archive This process.
- When the process completes, click Open My Xdrive to go to your Xdrive, or click the Close Window button to close the Archive This window.
The page is copied into a folder called Web Grab in your Xdrive account. The Save to Xdrive option will only appear in your right-click menu when you right-click on a web page link.
For more information on using Archive This on Xdrive Web, see Using Archive This.

Can I move files from my computer to my Xdrive?
No, you cannot use Archive This to move or copy files from your computer into your Xdrive. You can only transfer files from web pages accessible to anyone on the Internet into your Xdrive. Note that this restriction applies to intranet pages (web pages available only within a computer network, such as a business network) also.
We suggest that you use Xdrive Desktop to transfer files and folders from your computer to your Xdrive.

Why doesn't Archive This work on membership sites?
Because the Archive This process must be able to access the file that you want to copy, you will not be able to use it if the website requires you to log in with a username and password. While this includes web mail services such as Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail, you can upload attachments directly from your e-mail account using the E-mail Attachments feature.

Why can't I download files from my company's intranet?
You can not use Archive This on intranets because Xdrive is not able to access these sites. Your company's intranet is generally only accessible to you while you are at the office or connected to your office network remotely. It is not usually available to everyone on the Internet.
If your company's intranet is available on the Internet but requires a username and/or password to log in, you will still not be able to use Archive This.

I tried to save an HTML file, but the page doesn't display correctly. Why?
When you save an HTML file, the code that produces the web page is extracted and transferred to your Xdrive. If the page you are trying to save uses dynamic (frequently changing) content or relative URLs (web addresses that are otherwise incomplete, but display correctly when on the web), the links to these resources will break, and the page will not display properly.
How a web page is created and saved varies by page, and Xdrive has no control over how they will display.
