FAQ
Before you connect.
The practical limits, in plain language.
Do I need to choose a computer every time?
No. Name one when the job depends on a specific computer. Otherwise Zinley can use a compatible online computer with access on when the target is clear, or ask you to choose.
Can Zinley turn a computer on or off?
No. The access switch is not a power control. Zinley can reconnect when its desktop app is already running, but it cannot power on, shut down, or reboot the computer. Bring it online or choose another one.
Can Zinley send me a file from another computer?
Zinley can find or work with files that the computer and your permissions make available. Sending a file directly between computers can still require someone to choose or approve the file and save location.
Can I view or control another computer?
Remote screen viewing needs Screen Recording permission. Mouse and keyboard control require an Allow once confirmation on the target computer and expire after 15 minutes. Operating-system limits also apply.
Does each computer get a different Zinley?
No. Every connected computer belongs to the same private Zinley. Its identity, conversations, memory, rules, and unfinished work stay together.
What happens when the named computer is offline?
The task does not silently move to a computer that lacks the file or tool. Zinley tells you it could not finish there, then you can bring that computer online or choose another one.
Can I block remote work on one computer?
Yes. Turn Zinley access off for that computer in Dashboard, Devices. New requests from other channels can no longer run there, while local use of the app still works.
Does Zinley copy my whole computer to the cloud?
No. Connecting a computer does not automatically upload everything on it. A routed task uses the files, tools, and task-needed context that the computer and your permissions make available.
