Installation
The Files.com Desktop App is available for both Windows and macOS and is the recommended app for uploading and downloading files. It also allows you to access and edit your Files.com content directly from your operating system’s file browser.
Prior to Installation
The installer for the Files.com Desktop App does not remove existing installations of the older v4 version of the app.
Before installing the Desktop App, remove Desktop App v4 from your device in case it was previously installed on the same machine. This avoids confusion caused by the identical icons for the different applications, and prevents conflicts with drive letter mapping.
