Files can be opened in other apps on the mobile device and they can be stored for later in case of not having network access when the document is needed.
NOVELL FILR PORTABLE
The app version of Filr is best used as a portable document viewer and storage if necessary. The mobile app versions of Filr work in much the same way as the web interface with the added ability of being able to preview common file formats such as photos and Office documents. Adding files into your F drive/Filr folder is as easy as picking them up from the computer you are on and dragging them into the ‘Add Files’ pop up box in the web interface. Then, you have the option of uploading your file back to the folder.

NOVELL FILR DOWNLOAD
You can view any file that you want, but if you want to edit something, your browser will treat clicking on the file link as a download so that you can edit it in your program of choice. Using the web interface is simple but not as seamless as having a desktop folder. Although you must still be signed into the Novell client to add network printers and there are still advantages to treating your folders as top level letter-designated drives as we do now, all of your usual folders are available with you without having to worry about being connected to the network.
NOVELL FILR FULL
Laptops and the new tablets may want to switch over full time to the Filr client. With media synchronized to the desktop, users could do large-scale media work from a Filr desktop folder and only the changes they made would have to be synchronized across the internet to the school network folder – a much faster and easier method than transferring several large files at once. However, people who work with image media who keep several hundred MB of photos on their network folders would be good candidates for the desktop client because it is inefficient to browse for photos and videos on a network drive. App also allows for transfer of files from the device into the Filr folders.Īn on-campus desktop that doesn’t travel does not have a particular need for Filr as all the network folders are drives such as F, G, and H.

NOVELL FILR ANDROID
Mobile app: An iOS or Android app that allows for file downloading and viewing on the same set of folders.Like our web mail, it requires a login on the front page and then allows network drive access. Web: A secure web page that mirrors most but not all of the client’s functionality.To the end user, it is a folder located somewhere on your desktop or in your workspace that represents your F: drive.
NOVELL FILR MAC


As of the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, Episcopal faculty and staff have access to the school’s own implementation to Novell’s newest product: Filr.įor those who have taken advantage of “cloud” based storage solutions like Dropbox, Filr is a similar product that allows anyone on the Episcopal network to access their network files and folders off campus.
