Egnyte for Android App V 9.7 - File and Folder Context Selection in AI Chats in the Android App

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.
