## What is InterConneX for iPad?

InterConneX is a file management and sharing application that allows you to store files on your iPad and exchange them with other apps, iPhones, iPads, computers (using ChronoAgent or SFTP) and even cloud storage services. 

You begin by creating one or more Sharespaces on your device. These are "virtual hard drives" in which you can place as many document files as will fit. You can manage these files just like you would on a desktop computer - copy, move, delete, rename and organize them into a folder hierarchy. Sharespaces can remain private, where only you have access to their contents, or you can make them public, where other users with InterConneX can access them to exchange files back and forth. Document exchange works over WiFi networks or, optionally, Bluetooth for direct device-to-device transfers. 

Basic File Management Capabilities: 

- Copy 
- Duplicate 
- Move 
- Rename 
- Delete 
- Folder Creation 
- Group Creation
- Blank Document Creation (from Templates) 

Additional Built-In Capabilities 

- ZIP archive. 
- ZIP extraction. 
- Document preview via QuickLook. 
- Direct printing. 
- Email w/attachments (both ZIP'ed and standard). 
- Direct download via URL. 

Document Exchange Features 

- Drag & drop files between applications.
- Edit documents in place using other applications.
- Transfer documents to other applications. 
- Receive documents from other applications. 
- Copy contents of files to the system pasteboard. 
- Paste contents of the system pasteboard as files. 
- Export media files to your Photos library. 
- Import media files from your Photos library. 

Connectivity 

- Access sharespaces on other iPhones & iPads running InterConneX (via WiFi or Bluetooth). 
- Access macOS computers which have ChronoAgent installed (via WiFi/Internet). 
- Access macOS, Windows or Linux computers via SFTP (via WiFi/Internet). 
- Access the Amazon S3, Backblaze B2 and Google Cloud Storage services (via WiFi/Internet).
- Most file management and document exchange features work with remote connections. 

Synchronization 

- Compatible with ChronoSync 4.4 (or later) for automated synchronization between sharespaces and macOS computers. 


InterConneX is ready to go "out-of-the-box" with two sharespaces automatically created for you - one for local, private files and another for public file sharing. Additional sharespaces, both local and remote, can be created as needed. 

Note: Creating more than three sharespaces requires an in-app purchase of the InterConneX Sharespace Extension.

Six tutorial-style documents are included and these will introduce you to the basic concepts and advanced capabilities that InterConneX has to offer. An InterConneX portal web page offers additional resources along with news and information. Lastly, our expert support team lays ready and waiting to assist you with any issues you may have as well as to help you get the most out of InterConneX - either by itself or in conjunction with ChronoAgent and ChronoSync.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2023-01-16, version 2.0.1*

Works as expected but I was looking for an easy way to sync my ipad on the fly with Mac OS Mojave… works but loads of manual processes involved, it is not the automation I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Great utility, great customer service!

*2020-12-12, version 2.0.1*

InterConneX is for itself an efficient file manager, which helps old Mac users like me to easily migrate into the post-computer environment of iOS bringing the flavour ofMacOS user experience. Thanks to the Econ Tech guys, who deliver this App for free , as well as they constantly do with the Chronosync updates, which I use since 2012.

### 5/5 — Das ist der Dateibrowser und Sync–Dienst, der iOS fehlt

*2019-04-06, version 1.2.1*

Vor 4 Jahren hatte ich ChronoSync für 40 Dollar gekauft, um ein MacBook und einen iMac zu synchronisieren. Kurz darauf schmierte mir der iMac ab und ich hatte für ChronoSync keine Verwendung mehr: 40 Dollar zum Fenster raus geworfen. Dachte ich. Bis heute. Seit drei Tagen bin ich in Besitz eines iPad Pro und erwartete nicht, dass ich so schnell an den Limitierung von iOS anecke. Als Maler und Zeichner wollte ich lediglich Fotovorlagen von meinem Mac auf das iPad ziehen ohne die iCloud zu nutzen. Keine Chance. Zwei Tage lang suchte ich nach Software-Alternativen, dann fiel mir in einem Geistesblitz ChronoSync wieder ein. Und tatsächlich hat die Software mit InterConneX iOS Unterstützung und genau die Schnittstelle, die ich gesucht habe! Ich war überglücklich heute, all meine Dateiprobleme mit dem iPad heute auf einen Schlag gelöst zu haben. Problemlos kann ich nun Fotos und PDF`s und alle weiteren Dateien auf das iPad kopieren und mit allen beliebigen Apps, die ich nutze, teilen. Und das ganz unkompliziert über Ordner auf dem Mac, die ich mit dem Ordnersystem von InterConneX synchronisiere, sobald Mac und iPad im selben Netzwerk sind. Die Software ist super schnell und funktioniert bisher ohne Probleme und Bugs. Der integrierte Viewer ist top. Ich kann mit dem ChronoAgent sogar von meinem iPad aus auf alle Dateien auf meinem Mac zugreifen! Ein hervorragendes Stück Software und bedingungslos weiterzuempfehlen, auch wenn ChronoSync nicht ganz billig ist.

### 5/5 — Rocksteady link between your Macs and iOS devices.

*2018-01-18, version 1.2.1*

Simply the best way to access files on your Mac from an iOS device.  Its principal virtue is the solid connection running ChronoAgent on the Mac provides.  Never an issue with establishing a link and a solid steady result.

### 1/5 — The last update broke the app

*2017-11-22, version 1.2.1*

I have been using this app very successfully for many months to sync various combinations of computers and i-devices.  Regrettably, the last update (mid-November 2017) broke the app and ChronoSync cannot see the ios app anymore. Consequently, it cannot sync.  Hopefully, the developers will fix it soon.

### 5/5 — I've looked all over for weeks for something that does what this does!

*2016-08-15, version 1.2.1*

I've been looking for a long time for a way to share files between several Macs running different generations of MacOS and my iOS devices.

Unlike the previous reviewer I had no trouble at all setting Interconnex up on my iOS devices and interfacing them with my computer-based files once I installed ChronoAgent on my Macs.

Great little set of interconnection apps. And finally there is something like an actual file system for the iPad and iPhone.

I needed this and no one else provides this functionality. Lucky to have found it.

### 1/5 — How do you use it???

*2016-06-08, version 1.2.1*

This App completely baffles me.  I use ChronoSync on two Macs for backing up and HD cloning purposes.  I love that application.  Super easy, straight forward to use, and very robust.  

This morning I downloaded ChronoAgent to a Mac and this App, InterConnecX, to an iPad.  After spending nearly 4 hours this morning trying to figure out how to install and use both, I finally gave up.  The user manual instruction's completely baffle me.  

Wish there was some sort of user forum to go to for support. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt with a one Star rating.

### 5/5 — Datenzugriffe ohne Cloud

*2015-09-26, version 1.2.0*

Ich nutze diese App auf iPad und iPhone, um per VPN auf unseren Server mit ChronoSync Agent zuzugreifen. Das klappt ganz hervorragend, auch die weitere Integration mit iOS, wie zum Beispiel die Übertragung zur Dropbox. Bin sehr zufrieden, kann ich nur empfehlen – genau wie ChronoSync.

### 5/5 — Fab app - just what I was looking for.

*2015-08-07, version 1.1.1*

Allows me to sync my documents from my Mac to take with me on my iPad without having to use a Cloud based service.  I can access various documents etc and even edit them in appropriate iPad Apps.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2014-11-03, version 1.1.1*

The app is very good as expected by Econ Technologies. The only thing missing is a search feature.
