External Release Notes: Egnyte iOS Mobile App for Intune v. 8.32.2 (September 19, 2024)
The Egnyte for Intune App has been brought up to parity with the latest version of Egnyte app for iOS and users will now have access to the following features:
Egnyte Sign
Egnyte iOS for Intune app users can now e-sign documents assigned via Egnyte Sign directly within the app. To use this feature, users need to have the Egnyte mobile app installed and signed in.
Egnyte Sign is available as part of the PDF File Handler Add-On. Contact your account manager or Egnyte Sales team to get access to this feature.
Egnyte Copilot
Egnyte iOS for Intune App now supports Egnyte Copilot, an AI-powered conversational interface that enables users to utilize Knowledge Bases within their Egnyte domain.
The users will have the ability to ask questions and get responses, regenerate answers, verify the source(s), select suggested questions, and provide feedback using these Knowledge Bases.
Enhanced Link Sharing With Email Auto-suggestions
Version 8.32.2 features an improved email recipient selection process when sharing links via email. The system now auto-suggests email addresses based on previous usage, with a prioritization algorithm to help pick the most relevant users. Additionally, clear color indicators differentiate internal (blue) from external (gray) recipients, ensuring accurate and efficient link sharing with minimal effort.
Viewer Only Permission
Users with viewer only permission can now access folder contents and preview files. This ensures secure sharing with file downloads being disabled.
Document Scanner Enhancements
We have updated the Egnyte iOS application to improve the document scanning experience by integrating a new scanning framework. This enhancement addresses previous limitations and offers a more streamlined and efficient scanning process.
Key Improvements:
- Multi-Page Scanning: Users can now scan multiple pages in a single session, eliminating the need to scan one page at a time.
- Automatic Scanning: The scanner now automatically detects and captures documents without requiring manual input for each scan.
- Enhanced Scan Quality: Leveraging VisionKit's advanced imaging capabilities ensures higher quality scans with better edge detection and clarity.
New Smart Upload Action Recommendation
Building on our previously introduced Action Recommendation feature, we are adding a new scenario to further enhance the user experience within the Egnyte mobile app. This feature continues to provide personalized suggestions based on users' current actions, helping them discover additional functionalities and streamline their workflow.
Scenario: When a user navigates to a Project Folder that does not have geolocation set.
Action Recommendation: The app will now suggest setting the location for the folder to take advantage of the Smart Upload feature.
Action Recommendations require iOS version 17 (or higher).
Issues Addressed
The following issues previously fixed in the regular version of the iOS app have been addressed in the Intune version with the current release.
File Copy Issue for Power Users
Power Users were unable to copy files between folders due to the destination folder appearing grayed out.
Access to All Private Folders for Administrators
Admin Users were unable to access All Private Folders in the mobile app.
Improved User Messaging for Restricted File Sharing
Users whose file-sharing options were blocked by the administrator under Secure and Govern settings, encountered a 400 error message. Now, users receive a clear message indicating that sharing isn’t allowed due to administrator settings.
Improved Photo Upload Reliability
Users intermittently encountered a 401 error when uploading photos to the Egnyte Mobile app. The error stemmed from authentication issues, causing uploads to fail. The app has been enhanced to handle the 401 responses better, preventing this error from recurring. Users can now upload photos smoothly and without interruption.
Access Issue for Deeply Nested Folders
Users encountered an Unable to load file error when accessing documents in folders nested 10 levels deep or more. This problem was due to file path length limitations in iOS. Storage method has been optimized to allow access to files in more deeply nested subfolders, ensuring smooth document access without errors.
Incorrect Timestamps on Uploaded Photos
The app previously displayed the Last Modified date under the Created label in the photo file details, causing confusion. To address this, the label has been updated to Modified for accuracy. Capturing and displaying the original date when the photo was first taken has been logged as a separate feature request.
Known Issues & Limitations
There are a few distinctions in functionality between the Egnyte for Intune app and its regular counterpart.
Disabled Features:
- Co-Editing of Microsoft Office documents
- File Provider extension, which integrates with the iOS Files app
- The PDF Image Editor feature
Conditional Features:
- Image Markups: Disabled by default but can be enabled if the ‘Send organizational data to other apps’ setting is configured as ‘All apps’ in the Intune app protection policy.
