Installing FileDock application

FileDock is an enterprise application that extends the kiosk feature set offered by Scalefusion and a gateway into content management on a locked device.

Any content that you upload via Content Management on the Scalefusion dashboard is visible on the device only through the FileDock app. Hence FileDock is a medium that provides a source enabling you to upload any file/folder/presentation on your managed devices through the Scalefusion dashboard. Your content is secure and can be shared over the air right from your desktop.

This document describes how the FileDock application is installed on managed devices.
