Knowledge Base Article: Accessing M-Files Mobile

M-Files Mobile allows you to access your M-Files vaults from your iOS or Android device.

Logging In to M-Files Mobile

To log in to M-Files Mobile:

  • Contact your vault administrator or an M-Files consultant to get the login information of the vault
  • Open the M-Files mobile app on your device
  • On the login screen, enter the full server address, your username, and password
  • 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. For cloud vaults hosted in M-Files Cloud, M-Files recognises the server address even if you only enter the sales-tracker part. However, to make sure that the correct protocol and address are used, it is recommended to always use the full server address.

  • Optional: If you have access to many vaults, select the vault to which to connect. If you have access to only one vault, you are automatically connected.

Adding a Vault with a QR Code

You can add a vault connection for M-Files Mobile with a QR code shown in M-Files Desktop or M-Files Web:

  • Open M-Files Desktop or M-Files Web and the vault to which you want to connect with M-Files Mobile
  • Click your initials in the top-right corner of the user interface and select Use with M-Files Mobile. A window with a QR code opens.
  • Long-press the M-Files app icon on your mobile device and select Scan Barcode, or open the app and tap the QR code icon in the Server address field
  • Scan the QR code — M-Files fills the Server address automatically
  • Tap Connect, then enter your username and password
  • Tap Log in to open the vault in M-Files Mobile


IdeaTip: For more information, refer to Connecting to Vaults with QR Codes in M-Files Mobile in M-Files Support Portal.
