Easy Access to your Documents and Media
FileBrowser for Education works the same way as a computer. Students log in using their usernames and passwords and have access to their files and folders stored on your school servers or in the cloud.
No change is needed to their existing access rights and permissions. You can further customize FileBrowser for Education by locking down features, which can be done remotely via MDM.
Editing Documents Made Easy
Excellent integration with Office365 Apps
Our Edit In-Place feature allows students to browse to a network folder and use Office 365 apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to edit, review or comment on documents directly. This prevents copies of the document being left on the device scattered across several apps.
All your changes are saved back to the original server or cloud folder.

Storage of photos, video and audio on a mobile device can be a sensitive subject. If you have a class taking photos, videos or audio recordings FileBrowser for Education can automatically upload them to the school server and avoid using the iOS camera roll altogether.
