2.1.1 Introduction
The Acronis Access app provides iPad, iPhone and Android devices with access to files located on
Windows file servers, SharePoint repositories, Acronis Access Sync & Share volumes as well as
'network reshare' access to SMB/CIFS compatible file servers (i.e., NAS devices, remote Windows
Servers, Linux file servers). Acronis Access administrators can optionally control the Acronis Access
application's features and security settings by configuring management policies.
Acronis Access encrypts all network communication using the HTTPS protocol for secure
over-the-wire file transfer and stores data on the iPad using Apple Data Protection (ADP) hardware
encryption.
The Acronis Access application allows mobile device users to connect to Acronis Access Gateway
Servers to browse and open server-based files. Files can be copied or synced from servers to
on-device encrypted storage within the app. These files can then be accessed even if the mobile
client does not have a Wi-Fi or 3G network connection.
With the Acronis Access, files can be opened in other mobile applications, moved, copied, printed,
emailed, opened, renamed or deleted. In addition, the Acronis Access iOS client application allows
PDFs to be annotated directly in the app. The Acronis Access app can accept a management policy
from a Acronis Access Server, allowing IT to configure application settings, capabilities, and security
controls. Depending on this client management policy, some of the mentioned Acronis Access
application features may be disabled.
The Acronis Access software must be installed on a Windows machine and supports file services as
well as management control over the Acronis Access applications. When implementing a client
management policy, the IT administrator configures specific settings that manage the clients using
the mobile application.
