Last week, I had the pleasure to be invited to the M-Files Regional Partner in Geneva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-Files people rallied around us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tero Antila<\/strong> – Director EMEA Partner Sales
Helin\u00e3 Mellanen<\/strong> – Senior Enablement Manager
Emilie Feat<\/strong> – Senior Partner Manager Switzerland
Sebastian Wegener<\/strong> – Senior Partner Manager Germany & Austria
Joachim Bleicher<\/strong> – Senior Partner Sales Engineer
Mustapha Laouari<\/strong> – Sales Engineer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a great morning coffee, few M-Files Business overview (goals and future plan strategy) and Networking, I decided to follow the different technical tracks presented by Joachim and Mustapha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New M-Files Desktop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are quite familiar with M-Files, most probably, you have used the current M-Files Desktop client:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

M-Files New Desktop objective is to streamline the different client interfaces such as Classic and new M-Files Web client or M-Files Mobile you are using in order to access your vault documents. Currently, those client UIs may lead to some confusion for end users and could be frustrated in terms of functionality and\/or interactivity limitations. It is built on modern web technologies and have a fresh look and feel. A single code base has been used for this new M-Files Desktop and M-Files Web client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already available in October 2024, it should fasten access to new capabilities with its updated design, updated such as Aino <\/strong>tab (assistant in M-Files to help users find information), improved filter view and made easier vault navigation. No more “M:<\/em>” drive used. Even if classic desktop client remain the default for now, transition should minimize disruption and users will still have the possibility to toggle to and from the new client version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New capabilities will come in a near future:
– Create view
– Home screen
– Drag & drop to Windows
– Visitor links
… and much more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last technical words, in order to make this operational, you will have to enable gRPC connection protocol on your M-Files server (something you do not have to take care of if using M-Files cloud solution – ready for use). As well, consider the below while operating the transition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
