Keine einzige Idee?

Ich vermute, dass du mehr Personen erreichen kannst, wenn du auch in Englisch schreibst.

Zum Thema kann ich dir nicht direkt weiterhelfen, weil ich nicht in der Apple Welt aktiv bin. Aber es gibt sicher einige, die damit arbeiten (auch Deutschsprachige ). Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass iPads ausgeschlossen sind.

Hallo,

ich habe ein iPad Air 13" mit IOS 18.0.1 , am Montag werde ich mir den Problem ansehen.

There are a number of ways you can edit files on an iOS device, off the top of my head you can

1. Use the content editor if you have Filr advanced, This can be accessed directly from the filr app. the advantage of this is that you can have multiple users editing files at the same time and it is more secure than other methods because teh file is not downloaded to the device.  This should also be able to be access through a browser.

2. If the application you wish to edit from uses the common files dialog you can just open the file, for instance from Word I can open a filr document and edit it and save it back to Filr

3. If you have a WebDAV mapped drive on your device you can access files from that

4. There is an 'open in' option in the Filr app.

Hello Robin,

I'm not quite sure if I understand Nick's question. I think he means that he wants to include the filr under files locations “connect to server”. Normally this would be with Webdav myfilr.mydomain.com/path

 My Filr is located behind a WAF, so it is very easy for me to run an extended Diganose. The first connect to the filer using the method from results in 2024:10:07-12:05:40 home httpd: id=“0299” srcip="xxx.xxx.xxx“ localip=”local ip“ size=”279“ user=”-“ host=”xxx.xxx.xxx.“ method=”GET“ statuscode=”200“ reason=”-“ extra=”-“ exceptions=”-“ time=”60959“ url=”/rest/“ server=”myfilr.mydomain.com”

The first connect via the iOS applet “Files” is fine if the log is interpreted correctly, http 200 says so. Under “shared” in “files” you will then find myfilr.mydomain.com, the storage location can also be “ejected”

If I want to add the filr again under “connect to server” after “eject”, the last user server is smb.//myfilr.mydomain.com which is definitely wrong and does not represent a webdav address. In the documentation for the current iOS, Apple itself describes that myfilr.mydomain.com/path must be set up as the webdav source. 

Searching the path only fails after further browsing. I cannot yet say whether this is my fault. This week is unfortunately very busy with work, I think I can only present something on Friday what the error could be.

Whether this is a bug on the part of iOS or I simply have too little knowledge, no idea at the moment. The only thing I can imagine is that the WAF can't do anything with the sitepath /rest. I still have to dig here. Then the fault is on my side. I can quickly check this by connecting the iPad via the local LAN which is directly in the same internal IP range. The diagnosis then becomes a bit more complex because I then have to work with wireshark and https analysis

Sorry, my German is not that good and I thought he was asking how he can edit files on an iPad.  My mistake.

For me it's my English skills that play tricks on me, sometimes I get the meaning wrong.


Robin, please don't worry, your lectures and the way you present them are always well-founded for me, I often learn new things and expand my knowledge when I listen to you or read something from you. Thank you for that

Hello to all,

Thank you very much for your efforts so far.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to solve the problem with the comments so far.

I will therefore describe the problem again in English.

1) I open the FILR app on my tablet.
2) I navigate to any file, e.g. a “.docx” file
3) a preview of the file is displayed on the right-hand side of the FILR app
4) I open the file with the ↑ symbol at the top right --> Open with... --> Word
5) I edit the file in Word
6) Word immediately reports: “Write-protected - Save a copy for editing.”
7) I click on “Save copy”.
8) in the “Save as” window, FILR is not displayed as a storage location.

What do I have to do to be able to save a file directly from an app (e.g. Word, PowerPoint, Excel) to FILR?

Thank you so much for any help.

What is written here is reproducible. Word, Excel and the like know the Files app and the storage account on iOS. As far as I can tell, it is possible to use a Filr address in both the Files app and Add storage location.

iOS is 18.1 in my case

@ Nick Robin has mentioned the online editor of Filr. I also use this because I have found that the functions of the tool are more than sufficient and I do not need a license from MS.


@ Robin - Maybe the whole thing is a feature request and would improve the scope of Filr.

I agree there are some issues here which look like defects and I would suggest opening an SR, however I can edit a file from Word on an iPad, have a look at https://filr.mydemo.biz/filr/public-link/file-download/2c906ffd90e57a0c0192678ca06e051d/73/3024885026246030485/word%20Edit.mp4
