You actually have to have the app running, though.  If you end the task, or disable it at startup, you'll have to open it first and give it a minute to connect.

Open your Windows Explorer and as long as the app is downloaded you can add it to your favorites.  It should automatically be there.  Double-click on it and you will have access to your files.
