1. Uses of the Fiabee mobile application
Fiabee for mobile lets you access, erase, share, synchronize files, including photos taken and stored on your mobile’s photo gallery. You can even download and edit them locally from your mobile or tablet.
If you have installed Fiabee on other devices, including your computer or other mobile devices, this feature would be of particular interest: Any file you upload from any of your devices can be viewed, shared and managed directly from your smartphone.
Other features include:
- Remote wipe: in case of theft or loss you can go to https://fiabee.com and remotely delete the Fiabee folder on your device. Only the files stored in Fiabee will be deleted, not the entire smartphone.
- Local access PIN: you can assign a four-digit PIN for local access to the Fiabee app from "Settings" at the Fiabee app. Note that the application must have been properly closed for the PIN to work. This is due to an internal process of iOS (iPad and iPhone) and Android operating systems. Consult the iOS and Android user manuals for how to close the app properly.
- Automatic upload of all photos you’ve taken with your mobile device. Fiabee will automatically create a "Camera" folder within the Android device which will also be replicated across all your other devices using Fiabee. When you take a new photo, it will be automatically uploaded. If you share the "Camera" photo with others, they will be able to enjoy your photos as soon as you’ve taken them. In the case of iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod) the Fiabee app must remain open to upload the photos. In the Android app the process runs on the background.
- Cloud Print: Print directly from your smartphone any document using Google Cloud Print. To configure the Google account you can find information and detail in this link: http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/
- Offline access to your documents: you can select individually the files you want to be accessible on your mobile device, even when you have no access to the Internet.
- Edit and synchronize: Fiabee allows you to export and import documents from third mobile apps for editing. You must have installed a mobile commercial editor like "Documents to Go" or similar.
- Search through all devices, even without an Internet connection: your documents’ metadata are replicated locally, so you can perform a search even when offline and regardless of the device from which the document originated or is stored.
- You can share specific files from your mobile without having to download them: Fiabee’s app creates a link which you could email from your mobile. The recipient could download the file by clicking on the link you’ve sent. Remember, links will expire within 72 hours of sending but there is no limit to the number of links you could create.
