This article will cover how to save or export records or files from the cloud version or Genesis R&D to your local computer.

This scenario can arise when you:

• Save to PDF
• Save to EXL
• Export files
• Print postscript (non-hard copy) files 

Each of these situations will require that you browse to save/print a file using File Explorer. You can save locally in one of two ways:

• During the save or export process
• Copy/paste from the cloud to the local computer

Example: Save an EXL file directly to your local Documents folder

1. Open the record (Recipe, Ingredient, etc.) you want to save. 
2. On the Home ribbon, click Save to EXL. 
3. In this window, you will either see "This PC" or "Hosted Computer."
4. Expand that and look for "C on [YourComputerName]." This is your local C: drive. Note: Your local drive may begin with another letter
5. Expand C on [YourComputerName]>Users>[Your profile name]. There is a known lag issue between the Cloud and the local drives, so it takes time for the Cloud to update and navigate the local drive directories.
6. Open the Documents folder.
7. Click Save. 

Important Note: Any local drives (again, those denoted as "[DriveLetter] on [YourComputerName]" are part of your local environment and are NOT backed up as part of the hosted environment.

Example: Save an EXL file to the cloud drive and use the File Explorer to copy it to your local drive

1. Open the record (Recipe, Ingredient, etc.) you want to save. 
2. On the Home ribbon, click Save to EXL. 
3. Browse to the P: or S: drives. These drives are housed in the cloud and are accessed by logging in to ESHA Cloud.
   
   • The P: drive is your Personal Hosted Desktop drive. You will access it with your login and it is accessible only to you.
   • The S: drive is your Company Shared drive. Any data/files placed on this drive will be accessible by all employees, from your company, with access to this Hosted Desktop.  
4. Click Save.
5. Select File Explorer from the Remote Desktop Connection Center
   
6. Open the Personal Share (P:) or Company Share (S:) drive where you saved your files.
7. Highlight the files you want and use Command+C to Copy or go to the Home tab and choose Copy (or Cut if you wish to move them).
8. Browse to your local drive under This PC or HostedComputer. Typically it will be named something like C on [YourComputerName]. Choose the folder you want to save the files in.
9. Use Command+V to paste, or go to the Home tab and choose the Paste button.
