Answer
The open standards that SyncHaven.net's offsite filesystems are built upon makes them extremely flexible - there are literally thousands of tools and methods you can use to integrate the filesystem into your Windows system or network.
In general, a windows user will use one tool to maintain automatic, scheduled backups, and a second tool to browse and interact with the remote files. The first tool is almost always the Windows Backup Agent (although we support many other backup tools, such as rsync.exe for Windows). The second tool can be any browser or client you are comfortable using. You can map the offsite filesystem as a drive letter, or browse with an ftp/sftp client, or connect in your web browser, etc.
