M-Files Desktop

Overview

By default, M-Files Desktop (both classic and new) and M-Files Web clients include the "Use with M-Files Mobile" option, which the users can select via user initials in the top-right corner of the user interface. This feature allows users to quickly add a vault connection to their mobile device using a QR code. In certain environments you may want to disable this option.

Solution

To remove the "Use with M-Files Mobile" option:

  • Open M-Files Admin.
  • Navigate to the Advanced Vault Settings for the desired vault.
  • Locate the setting named "Access with QR Code" and disable it as in the picture below.

  • Save the changes.
  • Users may need to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

Once this setting is disabled, the "Use with M-Files Mobile" option will no longer be available to users.

For more information, refer to Connecting to Vaults with QR Codes in M-Files Mobile.
