Devices & file access

Connect a device and your DatsMe folders show up in that device's own file picker — so any app on it can attach your files directly.

This is the feature that makes your DatsMe folders behave like any other place files live. Once a device is connected, opening a file picker in Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp or anything else shows DatsMe alongside iCloud or Google Drive, and you pick a file straight out of it. There is nothing to download first. Three kinds of device can connect: an iPhone or iPad, an Android phone, and a computer through Finder or Explorer.

How to

What it can do

  • Make your DatsMe folders appear in a device's normal file picker
  • Attach a DatsMe file from any app that can attach a file
  • Connect an iPhone or iPad, an Android phone, or a computer through Finder or Explorer
  • Name each connection so you can tell them apart later
  • See when a connection was last used
  • Disconnect any device at any time

Worth knowing

⚠️ On an iPhone or iPad, DatsMe may not appear in Files until you switch it on there. The page tells you exactly how: open Files → Browse, tap ⋯ → Edit, and switch DatsMe on. Connecting is not enough on its own, and this is the step people miss.

Disconnecting is always available and does not touch your files — it only stops that device from reaching them.

Who can see it

A connection is between your account and a device you control — see Personal folders for what it exposes, which is your own private folders. See Who can see what.
