Pathcore Upload Client

Background Service Overview


Most of the Upload Client functionality is provided by a Windows service, software that runs in the background and is started automatically when the computer is turned on. This is what allows the detection and transfer of new files to continue even when the User Interface is closed and the user is logged off.
