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
Note: 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.
