Hi,
The New context menu allows users to quickly create a new item in the current location.
You can add Briefcase to the New context menu and use it to keep files in sync between two different computers.
We noticed that you have tried the solution provided by DaveM121. Have you tried visiting the link that Bruce Hagen suggested to add Briefcase?
We strongly recommend that you consider the solution suggested by Bruce Hagen.
If you have other concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.
