Accessing the Content Library in Lockdown

Solved

Hi, 

Struggling to figure this out.

  • I have added a file to a content library
  • Created a policy exposing specific devices to it. 
  • Installed Soti Hub to the device
  • Added Soti Hub on the lockdown screen

I can't seem to see where to add the content library to the hub, or it's certainly not obvious.  I see there's an option for adding a repo to the hub but there doesn't seem to be a 'native' content library option.

I don't use the content library yet but as far as i remember they are only visible in the mobicontrol app on the device.

Thanks Rafael,

Bit bizare though to have native functionality to allow docs to be shared and not have an end user based way of accessing.  The MobiControl app is a bit too 'techy' for end users and I really don't want them using it.  

Maybe reach a feature request to Soti then but there was a similar request in the past already: https://discussions.soti.net/thread/launching-directly-to-content-library-tab-from-lockdown

Not sure why there's nothing like that being implemented as i fully understand your issue here.

Any other thoughts on how to share docs without needing them to log into Sharepoint etc.

You can use a file sync rule to provide the files to the device directly but this would require them to get access to the filesystem and grab the files (via a files app or relevant app like pdf reader or so) which is also maybe not a good way.

Or you use Soti Hub in the way it's supposed to work, so adding a sharepoint or onedrive or webdav to it and providing the files that way.
