Using SkyVault with other apps

You can open SkyVault files in other apps, upload from other apps to SkyVault, and create Microsoft Office files and save them to SkyVault.
Note: You may occasionally find that a file doesn't open or upload with a third-party app. If this happens then try using a different app or updating the Android version on your device.

Opening files from SkyVault in other apps

1. In the file preview tap OpenOpen in... and select an app to open a file in.

2. When you've edited the file save it in the app you’re using for editing, and any changes will be applied to the file in SkyVault.
Note: For Microsoft Office apps you can just tap your device back button and the file will be saved back to SkyVault.

Creating Microsoft Office files and saving to SkyVault

You can create new Microsoft Office files and save them straight to SkyVault.

1. Create a new file in a Microsoft Office app.

2. Select Save, then Other Cloud Storage, and select SkyVault from the list.
Note: You need to be signed in to the SkyVault Mobile app for it to display on the list.
3. Choose where to save the file to in SkyVault.
Note: You can't save a file straight to the top level of the Synced Content area, you need to save it to a folder that has been synced.

Opening SkyVault files from Microsoft Office files

1. Select Open in a Microsoft Office app.

2. Select Other Cloud Storage, and select SkyVault from the list.

3. Browse through SkyVault to find a file then tap on it.

4. When you've edited the file select Save and the file is saved back to SkyVault.

Tip: You may occasionally find that a file doesn't open. If this happens then open SkyVault for Mobile and tap on the account name in the SkyVault menu and make sure that you're signed in.

Upload from other apps

You can use the Share option in other Android apps to upload files to SkyVault.

1. Just select SkyVault from the list of apps, and you can tap Triangle to choose which account, site, and folder to upload the file to.

2. You can name the file and add tags and a description, and if a file with that name already exists in the location, then you’ll be prompted to rename your file. This means that you can’t accidentally overwrite existing content.

Note:

If you're uploading multiple files you can’t name an item or add tags and descriptions at this point.
