In a nutshell, you can upload and share files with people and communities. In the mobile apps IBM just released, we put a lot of effort into making the Files experience simple, useful, and as full as possible. As mentioned in a previous post, we focused on core use cases for the mobile user:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access to my files<\/li>\n<li>Find a file anywhere in the system.<\/li>\n<li>Open a file for viewing.<\/li>\n<li>Commenting on files shared with me.<\/li>\n<li>Uploading a photo from the device.<\/li>\n<li>Share a file with other people.<\/li>\n<li>Download a file for viewing offline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s just focus on the download use case &#8211; yes, you CAN take it with you. Once you find a file in the list or through search, you open it to its details page. Tapping on the file name allows you to quickly download or open it. There is a special view accessible from the file list or your account page to show you all your offline downloads. Files are encrypted on the device.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s the iOS version. Android is quite similar.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www-10.lotus.com\/ldd\/insidelotusblog.nsf\/dx\/connections-mobile-files-and-downloads\/content\/M2?OpenElement\" alt=\"Image:Connections Mobile - Files and Downloads\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, if you happen to be off the network for some reason, you can still access your files and open or view them. You still won&#8217;t be able to enter comments for synching later, but this gets you 90% of the way there.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Chris Reckling<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"name\">Chris Reckling | 18 June 2012 05:15:00 PM ET<\/span>\u00a0|<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most-used apps in Connections is the Files app. See\u00a0this link\u00a0for a full description of the features and benefits.
