Files
Introduction
The Relution Files App is a mobile app for iOS devices that enables the integration of local file shares. These file shares can be provided via SMB or WebDAV protocols.
The app is particularly useful for businesses and schools that want to manage their data securely and centrally. By integrating local file shares, users can access relevant documents and content.
With the Relution Files App, you can access shares set up via the Relution Portal. Alternatively, additional shares can also be configured directly in the app. The built-in file explorer provides access to directories, and various files can be opened in the system applications.
Additionally, the integrated camera can be used in the Relution Files App to save images directly to the network share, instead of the Apple Photos app. This helps to enhance data protection.
The Relution Files App is only available for iOS devices.
Manual Setup
The manual setup of file shares in the Relution Files App is intuitive and easy to perform. Only a few mandatory fields need to be filled in; after entering them, the connection can be tested and established using the Test button.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Display Name | Any name you want to assign to the share |
| URL | WebDAV or SMB URL for the file share |
| Username | Username of the user for the file share |
| Password | Password of the user for the file share |
| Extension Type | Type of integration into the Apple Files App |
The Extension Type must be set to either “Modern” or “Classic”. Depending on the iOS version and device usage (shared), the file share may not appear correctly in the Apple Files App. Files Bug→

User Operation
After successful setup, the app’s file browser can be used to navigate the share. Users can also add or edit folders within the share.
The integrated camera can be used to store images in compliance with data protection directly on the share.
After the file share has been configured, the Apple Files app can also be used.
