## What is FileCap?

FileCap lets you send large or confidential files from your iPhone the safe way: through your organization's own FileCap server instead of as an email attachment. Recipients receive a download link and prove who they are with an email code, an SMS code or a password before they can open anything.

Send anything, from anywhere. Pick documents from the Files app or photos and videos from your library, or share straight from any other app with the FileCap share sheet. Add one or more recipients from your contacts, write a message, and send. Large uploads show live progress, can be cancelled, and continue in the background if you switch apps.

You decide how recipients verify. Choose per transfer whether recipients need an email code, an SMS code or a password, exactly the options your organization's server allows. Set how many times files may be downloaded and how long they stay available, always within your company policy.

Stay in control after sending. Every transfer you send is kept in your history with its recipients, files and transfer ID. Sent something to the wrong person? Withdraw the transfer with one tap and all recipients are notified that it has been blocked.

Request files, too. Need documents from a customer or supplier? Send them a FileCap invite so they can upload to you securely, without needing an account.

Built for business. Configure the app with a single link from your administrator, with no server addresses or keys to type. On company-managed devices, administrators can push the server, sender identity and transfer defaults through their MDM (Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro, Google endpoint management, Workspace ONE, Ivanti and others); settings delivered this way are locked on the device. Text a transfer password with one tap, pick recipients from your contacts, and send diagnostic logs to FileCap support with one tap. Available in 16 languages with full VoiceOver support.

FileCap requires access to a FileCap server provided by your organization. Manuals for users and administrators, including the MDM configuration guide, are at docs.filecap.eu. Visit filecap.com to learn more.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.1 — 2026-09-29

• Device registration: on servers that require it, the app registers itself with a code sent by email. Paste the code in the app or tap the link in the email
• Share photos, videos and files from Photos, Files and other apps: FileCap now opens with your files in a new transfer
• Send Photos & Videos opens your photo library right away
• New transfers start with the verification method your organization has set as default
• Picking a contact without a mobile number no longer keeps the number of the previous contact
• Cancelling an upload while it is being prepared no longer leaves the app waiting
• Uploads that are refused because the device is not registered now explain what to do

### 2.2.2 — 2026-09-21

I'll be back... with your files. Version 2.2.2 makes FileCap better and easier to manage:

• Uploads keep going in the background when you switch apps or lock your phone, and the screen stays on while you send
• Withdraw a transfer with one tap (FileCap server 2026.10 and later); no more copying a Block ID from your email
• Company devices: administrators can push the server, sender identity and transfer defaults through their MDM (Intune, Jamf, Google endpoint management, Workspace ONE, Ivanti) and lock them on the device
• Choose the right email address or mobile number when a contact has several
• Fill in your own email and mobile number from Contacts with one tap, or right after an MDM setup
• Pasted mobile numbers are cleaned up automatically (spaces, dashes, +31 (0)...)
• A mobile number is never required; SMS verification offers to add yours, and you can skip it
• Send Photos & Videos has its own large button on the home screen
• Now also in Finnish and Ukrainian, 16 languages in total
• The share extension is now included in App Store builds (sharing from Photos, Files and other apps works again)
• Manuals for users and administrators: docs.filecap.eu

• Send to several recipients at once, with CC and BCC
• History: see every transfer you sent and withdraw one if needed
• Request files from others with a secure upload invitation
• Text a transfer password to the recipient with one tap
• Set up the app instantly with a configuration link from your administrator
