this happens then try using a different app or updating the Android version on your device.
Opening files from SkyVault in other apps

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.

device back button and the file will be saved back to SkyVault.

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 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.
