Overview
The homepage consolidates frequently accessed content and actions in a single view. Files, tasks, recent items, quick access (with shortcuts to frequently used actions), Egnyte Copilot, and Smart Upload suggestions can be accessed without navigating through multiple folders or menus. This creates a more streamlined and efficient mobile experience.

Customization Options
The homepage can be customized by selecting the Edit icon to better align with individual work needs:
Widget selection
Widgets can be shown or hidden as needed. In edit mode, a widget can be hidden by tapping the (x) icon in the upper-left corner of the widget.
Additionally widgets can be added by selecting the Add widgets icon and tapping the widget to be included in the pop-up window.
Widget order
Widgets may be rearranged in Edit mode by dragging and dropping them into the preferred order.
Widget resizing
Widgets can be resized in Edit mode using the resize icon in the lower-right corner of the widget. Dragging the icon to the right adjusts the widget from small to medium, and dragging it downward adjusts it to large. Dragging upward or to the left reduces the widget size.
Theme selection
The homepage theme can be adjusted for appearance. In Edit mode, the option is available under the Theme icon with four theme variations: Neutral, Sunrise, Blue, and Purple. The selected theme is applied immediately, and the preference is saved upon confirming with the Checkmark button.
