The iGet Mobile Favorites folder is a special folder on your Mac, that contains aliases to your own set of items, such as frequently-used folders, or favorite documents. These items appear on the start screen when you connect to your iGet Mobile personal server.

Initially, there are no Favorites. The iGet Mobile start screen contains only the default items: the Mac's hard drives, as well as your Home, Desktop, and Documents folders.
