File handling facts

Area	What to know
Local files	SlideScope opens supported microscopy files from your computer for desktop review.
Shared links	Users can choose to open direct file links or shared folders from services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox.
Local cache	Linked files can be cached locally so repeat review is faster and more resumable.
