Knowledge Base Article: Accessing M-Files Web

M-Files Web is a browser-based M-Files client that lets you use the basic M-Files functions. There are two versions available: the classic M-Files Web and the new M-Files Web.

The user interfaces for the two versions are almost the same as in M-Files Desktop. With the classic M-Files Web, see the Using M-Files Desktop User Interface section for more information about the user interface components. The new M-Files Web has its own user guide.

Accessing M-Files Web

To access your vault with M-Files Web:

  • In your web browser, go to the M-Files Web address given by your system administrator or an M-Files consultant
  • Example: If the name of your vault is Sales Tracker, the address can be https://sales-tracker.cloudvault.m-files.com for cloud-based deployments or http://sales-tracker.mydomain.com for on-premises vaults


NotesNote: In your corporate network, the connection protocol can be HTTP instead of HTTPS.

  • Enter your login credentials or select Log in with current Windows credentials
  • Optional: If you have access to many vaults, select the vault to which to connect

Editing Content in M-Files Web

In M-Files Web, you can use M-Files Web Companion to edit content with desktop applications. With the classic M-Files Web, you can use the M-Files for Chrome extension.

Getting the M-Files Web Address

You can get the address of M-Files Web in your organisation from your system administrator. Contact your vault administrator or an M-Files consultant if you do not know the address.
