External Release Notes: iOS Mobile App v 9.9 (July 27, 2026)
New Features and Enhancements
AI Connectors
Users can now leverage external app connectors directly within AI Assistant conversations on mobile. A new source selector allows users to view and toggle which connected apps (example. Slack, Outlook, or Salesforce) AI Assistant on Mobile draws from when responding to prompts. Users can set up and manage connectors only in the Egnyte web AI Hub. On mobile, only connectors that were already configured on the web can be accessed. AI Assistant responses combine Egnyte file insights with information pulled from all active external connectors, enabling richer, cross-platform answers without leaving the mobile app.
Share AI Assistant Chat Links
Users can generate a secure, shareable link for any AI Assistant conversation and send it to colleagues via email or messaging apps. Recipients authenticated on the same Egnyte domain can open the link in the app to view the full transcript and continue the conversation in their own private AI Assistant session.
AI Powered Search
A new AI-driven search experience allows users to find files using conversational language instead of manually applying filters. Queries such as pdf file I recently opened are automatically translated into structured search parameters, applying file type, date range, and other filters without requiring users to navigate filter menus.
AI-Powered Search is available to users on domains with an active AI Add-on. Contact the Egnyte account manager or Egnyte Sales team for more information.
Project Center
A dedicated Project Center view is now available on mobile, bringing the project-first interface to iPhone and iPad. The view aggregates all folders designated as Projects into a single dashboard, giving project stakeholders a faster way to locate and open their active work without navigating deeply nested folder hierarchies.
This feature is available for all customers that have Projects Hub enabled. Contact your Account Manager or Egnyte Sales team to get this feature.
HEIC/HEIF Image Upload
Users can now upload photos in their original HEIC or HEIF format when selecting files from the Photos Library via the +Create or upload button in the Egnyte app. Previously, the app automatically converted these files to JPEG before uploading; files are now transmitted in their native format, preserving full image quality and metadata.
Issues Addressed
Thumbnails Not Rendering for Image Files in Large Folders
Users of the Egnyte for iOS app reported that thumbnails for PNG, JPG, and JPEG files were not displaying in folders with a large number of images. The app now correctly renders image thumbnails regardless of directory size.
