Favorites
- Here you can find the files and folders you have marked as favorites.
- To mark files and folders as favorites, tap in a directory (e. g. Home Drive) on the star icon next to the name (arrow in left illus.).
- To remove a file or folder from the favorites, tap in the Home Drive directory on the star icon again.
- In the Favorites tap on the Menu button behind a file or a folder. You can now remove the item from the favorites list (Unfavorite, lower arrow in right illus.).
- If you want to go to the location where the file or folder is saved, tap instead on Go to parent folder (upper arrow in right illus.).
Home Drive
Depending on whether your administrator has allowed you access, you will find the following drives or directories here.
- Company drives: Here you have access to your company drives (e.g.: Sales, Marketing, W:)
- SharePoint: You can access your SharePoint drive via the Workplace app. Load your SharePoint access codes in the User Self Service Portal beforehand.

In this directory, you have many more options available for further processing of files.
Phone/Tablet
Use this directory for files saved locally on your device.
Secure Drive
Use this directory if you want to save important files directly to your Android device so you can, for example, edit them later in offline mode (Flight mode). Files saved here are encrypted and saved to a hidden folder on your mobile device, ensuring that in the case of theft or loss of the device, these files will not fall into the wrong hands.
