Install VNCfiles as an app

VNCfiles runs in your browser, but you can install it so it opens in its own window — like a desktop or mobile app — with its own icon and notifications.

Install it

1. Open VNCfiles in a supported browser and sign in.
2. Use the browser’s Install option:
   • Computer — select the install icon in the address bar, or open the browser menu and select Install VNCfiles.
   • Phone or tablet — open the browser menu and select Add to Home Screen / Install app.
3. Confirm. VNCfiles opens in its own window and is added to your apps.

Turn on notifications

When VNCfiles asks, allow notifications. Installed, it can then send push notifications (for example, when something is shared with you) that open the item directly when you select them. If you block them, you can still see everything inside the app.

Good to know

• Installing is per device and per browser. To remove it, uninstall it like any other app on that device.
• The installed app is the same VNCfiles — your files, folders, sync spaces and sharing are unchanged. See Offline and sync.
