External Release Notes: Android Mobile App v. 8.56 (November 25, 2024)
New Features And Enhancements
Google Documents Coediting
Egnyte Android app users can now co-edit Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides directly on their mobile devices. When Google Workspace integration is enabled by the Egnyte domain admin, a Co-edit button will appear in the Egnyte mobile app in the file preview or context menu for compatible files. Selecting Co-edit opens the document in the corresponding Google app, enabling collaborative editing. Access requires being logged into the Google app with Egnyte credentials.
.
This integration will be rolled out gradually. It may take several weeks to become available across all customer domains.
Issues Addressed
Microsoft Office Mobile 365 co-editing issue
When a user initiated co-editing on their mobile device, other participants attempting to join the session encountered a ‘file locked’ message and were restricted to view-only mode. This update ensures that users can now seamlessly participate in co-editing sessions across both desktop and mobile platforms, without encountering file locking issues.
To ensure seamless coediting of Microsoft Office files on Egnyte mobile apps:
- Upgrade the mobile Android app to version 8.56 on all the devices.
- Enable the Microsoft Office Desktop and Mobile tile in the Egnyte Apps & Integrations page.
