External Release Notes: Android Mobile App v 9.7 (June 2, 2026)
New Features and Improvements
File and Folder Context Selection in AI Chats
Users can select specific files and folders as context sources before or during an AI Assistant conversation to ensure more accurate results. The assistant automatically scopes to the current folder upon launch, allows for real-time source adjustments within the chat, and enables users to refine answers by selecting or de-selecting specific reference files for answer regeneration.
AI Assistant Replaces Ask
The Ask tab now provides entitled customers access to the full AI Assistant experience upon clicking the AI button in the preview screen. This integration allows users to leverage web search and cross-file context without leaving the current document. The assistant automatically scopes to the active file and displays smart startup prompts tailored to specific documents, such as contracts or specifications, to accelerate common tasks. Customers without access to these advanced AI capabilities will continue to see the same experience they use today, with Ask simply being renamed to AI.
Checkbox and Radio Button Support for Egnyte Sign
The mobile signing experience now supports interactive checkboxes and radio buttons. Users can select options, toggle multi-select fields, and complete required selections directly within the app, allowing for the full execution of complex documents on Android devices.
Access to AI Agents on Mobile
Users can now interact with AI Agents directly from their Android devices. This update allows for the selection of existing organizational agents to summarize documents, ask questions, and retrieve insights on the go, ensuring a consistent AI experience across the web and mobile platforms.
Offline Storage Widget
A new offline storage dashboard widget on the Homepage screen provides real-time visibility into offline file readiness and storage limits. This central widget displays a visual meter of storage usage against the app's allocated quota, alongside a sync status indicator to ensure mission-critical files are fully downloaded before losing connectivity. Users can modify storage limits directly from the widget.
