In the "portable box" of Portabox Launcher, you can add many "foods"—green, portable apps. Neither Portabox Launcher nor these apps require installation. Simply open the "box" and they are ready to use.

How to Add App?

  • From the Cloud: Click the "cloud" button in the top right corner of the software (or go to Tools -> Resource hub), select your desired app, and get it.
  • From Local Storage: Click the "+" icon (or go to Tools -> Import), and select a 7zz archive or EXE file.

  • Tip: After that, if you need to transfer your Portabox Launcher to another location, simply copy Launcher.exe and the entire Portabox folder to the new location.

  • How to delete App?
