All mobile clients enrolled in management with the Files Advanced Web Server have their functionality governed and controlled by a User or Group policy. The Default policy is created automatically on installation and has the lowest priority (the highest being a personal User policy), but it affects all users that do not have a User policy and are not members of a Group policy. The Default policy is enabled by default.
Configuring the Default policy
Open the Files Advanced web console.
Navigate to Mobile Access -> Policies -> Group Policies.
Make sure that there is a check under the Enabled field and click on the Default policy.
View the settings and make changes if desired. For an in-depth overview of all the settings, please visit the Policies section.
Mobile Clients
When you run the Files Advanced app for the first time, you can either try the app in demo mode or you can enroll to your company's server.
To test out the app in the demo mode
Demo mode allows users to try the Files Advanced app even if their company doesn't have a Files Advanced Web Server. This is an environment setup for demonstration purposes only, not all features are accessible.
Install the app and open it.
After the welcome screen, select Use our demo server
You will be enrolled to the demo server.
Note: Once enrolled, you will have read-only access to a few shared folders on the demo server, as well as a couple of sync folders. These folders contain sample files, PDFs, image files, etc. You are able to browse, search, view & edit these available files and save edited files locally within the app if you so desire.
You can switch to your company's server at any point in time.
To enroll to your company's server
Install the app and open it.
After the welcome screen, select Use your company server.
Fill in your server's address, your PIN (if required), username and password.
After completing the entire form, tap the Enroll button.
Depending on the configuration of your company's server, you may be warned that your management server's security certificate is not trusted. To accept this warning and proceed, you can click Proceed Always.
If an application lock password is required for your Files Advanced mobile app, you will be asked to set one. Password complexity requirements may apply and will be displayed if needed.
A confirmation window may appear if your management policy restricts the storage of files in Files Advanced or disables your ability to add individual servers from within the Files Advanced mobile app. If you have files stored locally in the Files Advanced mobile app, you will be asked to confirm that any files in your My Files local file storage will be deleted. If you select No, the management enrollment process will be canceled and your files will remain unchanged.
