Saving docs to external storage
When the MaaS360 for Android app targets Android 11 APIs, MaaS360 can no longer access the entire external storage directories on the device. The access is limited to specific directories and specific types of media that is supported by those directories. This means that administrators can distribute files only to the selected directories through Persona policies.
| Allowed folders for distribution | Supported file type |
| DCIM/, Pictures/ | Images |
| Movies/, and Pictures/ | Videos |
| Alarms/, Audiobooks/, Music/, Notifications/, Podcasts/, and Ringtones | Audio |
| /Downloads | All file types |
Q1: PIM, Editor, Remote Control, Viewer, SDK, and Wrapping
PIM: While importing files into Docs and PIM apps, MaaS360 no longer displays the custom File Explorer option. However, users can use the system Files option that provides similar functionality as custom File Explorer.
| MaaS360 for Android app 7.40 on Android 11 | Older versions |
 |
 |
Q2: Editor and Viewer: Users need not have to explicitly grant storage access to MaaS360 before accessing files in the Secure Viewer and Editor.
