Accessing M-Files Desktop

When M-Files Desktop is installed and your vault connections are set up, you see all the vault connections on your M-Files drive in File Explorer. To use M-Files, click the icon on your desktop. You can also use the Windows start menu or the M-Files drive in File Explorer.

M-Files Desktop versions

There are two versions of M-Files Desktop that you can use: the classic M-Files Desktop (this user guide) and the new M-Files Desktop (refer to the user guide for M-Files Web and the new M-Files Desktop).

To switch between the two versions, use the NEW toggle in the top area.

Logging in

To log in, double-click a vault on the M-Files drive. To log in as a different user, right-click the vault and select Log In as. If M-Files cannot use your Windows credentials for the login, the system asks you for your credentials when you open the vault.

Logging out

To log out, click your initials in the top-right corner of the user interface and select Log Out.
