The main window of the Acronis Files app consists of two sections: the Navigation pane on the left side and the Browse pane on the right side. Depending on your Acronis Files management policy, some options may be missing in this window.
Navigation pane
The Navigation pane shows all available Data Sources, separated in these sections:
Favorites – This section contains all of your Bookmarks.
Sync & Share – Sync & Share folders assigned to you by an administrator or shared with you by another Sync & Share user.
On My Android – This section contains all the files and synchronized folders that are stored on your device and can be accessed without a network connection.
My files – Contains files stored locally on your device. Copy or move files here for offline use. Sub-folders can be created to organize your files.
1-Way Sync folders – This type of folders are synced from the server to your device only. They are read-only folders that are updated any time files change on the server.
2-Way Sync folders – This type of folders are initially synced from the server to your device. After the initial sync, any changes made to files on your device will be synced to the server, and any changes made to files on the server will be synced back to your device. Any changes made to these files while you are not connected, will be synced to the server the next time you have a network connection.
Files sent to this app – When opening a file from another app into Acronis Files, it will be placed in the Acronis Files clipboard. Once you open the Acronis Files app, you will be able to paste this file in any folder you have the rights to.
Network – Data Sources that have been assigned to your policy (or added manually) are shown in this section. These items are only accessible when you have a network connection. They can be of different types:
Home Folder –This is typically the same network home directory that you have access to from your Mac or PC. You can add files to your home directory from your computer and then access them from the Acronis Files app.
Acronis FilesServer –Server(s) that contain shares you have permission to access.
Network Folder –Specific folder(s) located on server you have permission to access.
SharePoint servers or Libraries.
