For employees to efficiently use mobile devices and accomplish their tasks, it is crucial to provide access to essential resources such as documents and media files. However, organizations must ensure that this content is distributed securely. MDM simplifies content distribution by enabling bulk distribution of documents and media files in just a few steps. This feature is supported for iOS, Android, and Windows devices. For MDM Cloud, the total size of files added for distribution must not exceed 4 GB..
This feature is available in Professional, Free, and Trial editions of MDM.
