## What is OpenText Filr?

OpenText Filr is a file access and sharing solution for the enterprise. With Filr, you have access to all your
files in one convenient location. Filr makes it easy to share across organizational boundaries and
collaborate on files, it makes finding the right files simple with smart search capabilities, and it keeps
files secure through strong and integrated access controls.

The Filr mobile app enables users to:

* Access files on corporate file servers (home directory and shared folders).
* Share files with users both inside and outside the organization.
* Search for files, file content, and comments either globally or in a specific folder.
* Make comments on and have discussions on shared files.
* View items you have shared and items others have shared with you in one convenient location.
* Download files to a mobile device for offline access.
* View the latest changes and newest additions via notifications or the “What’s New” interface.

System administrators enjoy the following security benefits while allowing users to share documents
and collaborate freely in a controlled, secure environment:

* Files remain on company file servers behind corporate firewalls.
* File system access controls remain in effect.
* User data quotas can be maintained on a user, group, or site-wide basis.

To use this app, your organization must have a OpenText Filr system deployed. Please visit

### 2/5 — Crash when All Photo access granted

*2025-12-04*

The app crashes whenever I grant it access to all photos on my iPhone 13 Pro. If I limit access to selected photos, uploading works without issue. I ran the crash log through an AI analysis, and it suggested the crash is related to how the app performs the call to list all photos.

I’m getting frustrated with having to restrict photo access just to keep the app running. I’ve already tried:
	•	Powering the phone off and on
	•	Several iOS updates
	•	Multiple app updates
	•	Uninstalling and reinstalling the app
	•	Various permission combinations

This issue has been happening for quite a long time. I also tried submitting a support ticket, but the process wasn’t obvious, so I ended up leaving a review instead.

I use this app regularly and would really appreciate your help resolving this.

Thank you.

### 5/5 — iPadOS 16.1.1

*2022-11-28, version 5.0.1*

FILR (Vers. 5.0.1) läuft wieder problemlos (sowohl als App als auch in Verbindung mit der Dateien-App). Gute Arbeit!

### 3/5 — Gute Umsetzung aber noch viel POTENZIAL

*2022-11-22, version 5.0.1*

Nach dem Update geht das App auf 16.1.1 wieder Danke.
Leider funktioniert bei 2 -Faktor Anmeldung der Direkte Zugriff im Apple  Datei System nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr. Hier müsste die Anmelde Maske wider erscheinen. Nur bei Neuistalation funktioniert der Zugriff eine Weile.
Generell könnte man ja die Bearbeitung von pdf im Filr App mit den Apple Stift unterstützen.

### 5/5 — App wieder nutzbar mit iPadOS 16

*2022-11-22, version 5.0.1*

Seit dem Update auf 5.0.1 funktioniert die App mit iPadOS 16.1!!!!

Damit gibts auch wieder 5 Sterne!

### 5/5 — App funktioniert wieder wunderbar

*2022-11-22, version 5.0.1*

Nach einigen Abstürzen auf iOS 16 läuft die App jetzt wieder. 
Vielen Dank! :)

### 1/5 — Leider nicht gut

*2022-11-19, version 5.0.0*

Funktioniert mit ipad os 16 leider nicht mehr

### 1/5 — App stürzt IMMER ab!!!!!

*2022-11-17, version 5.0.0*

Die App stürzt immer ab, sobald man auf Netzwerkordner zugreifen möchte. So kann, will und darf ich in der Schule nicht arbeiten, das ist eine Frechhheit.

### 2/5 — Läuft auf iOS 16 nicht mehr

*2022-11-16, version 5.0.0*

hat davor gut funktioniert, seid iOS 16 kann ich die App nicht mehr benutzen

### 1/5 — Stürzt wirklich immer ab

*2022-11-09, version 5.0.0*

Seit IOS 16 kann ich die App öffnen, jedoch stürzt diese immer ab sobald ich einen Ordner anklicke!
Absolut nicht zu empfehlen. Habe die App schon mehrmals neu installiert und alle Updates gemacht aber es ändert sich seit einem Monat nichts

### 2/5 — Crash beim Zugriff auf Dateien

*2022-11-07, version 5.0.0*

Seit dem letzten iOS-Update auf 16.1 stürzt die Filr-App (5.0.0) beim Zugriff auf die eigenen Dateien sofort ab und macht die deshalb unbrauchbar. 
Die Anmeldung am Server funktioniert weiterhin ohne Probleme.
