- Open and view files and folders,
- Edit files,
- Lock files and folders,
- Share files and folders,
- Manage share links,
- Upload content from your device, such as photos,
- Automatically back up your camera roll to a synced folder, called Camera Uploads,
- Rename, delete, and move items, and
- Favorite items for offline viewing.
Log in
To log into the iOS app:
