File Policies

On Android, server-configured policies control whether a file can be opened in a third-party app or securely cached on the device.

For example, if a file has the Allow Open In policy disabled, the file cannot be viewed on an Android device. Mobile Connect launches third-party apps to view all file types, so the Allow Open In policy must be enabled to view a file.
