Files
Introduction
The Relution Files app is a mobile app for iOS devices that makes it possible to integrate local file shares. These file shares can be provided via the SMB and WebDAV protocols. The app is particularly interesting for companies 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 that have been set up via the Relution portal. Alternatively, additional shares can also be configured directly in the app. The integrated file explorer gives you access to directories and various files can be opened in the system applications.
It is also possible to use the integrated camera in the Relution Files app to save images directly to the network drive instead of storing them in Apple’s integrated photo album as usual. This helps to increase data protection.
The Relution Files app is only available for iOS devices
