Installation
The Desktop v6 app supports both Windows and macOS, offering a powerful solution for uploading, downloading and managing the files.
Windows Installation
To install the Desktop v6 app on Windows, visit the Files.com download page, locate the latest version, and click on the .msi
file to download it. The app requires a 64-bit version of Windows 10 (22H2 or later) or Windows 11. To install, double-click the Files.com Installer file and follow the on-screen instructions. If prompted, restart your computer after the installation is complete. Once restarted, the Files.com icon will appear in the system tray. Administrator privileges are not required on Windows OS to install or update the app.
For large-scale unattended deployments on Windows, the MSI (Microsoft Installer) installer allows you to silently deploy the Files.com Windows Desktop App to a wide group of users within your organization using tools like SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager), MDM (Mobile Device Management) solutions such as Microsoft Intune, or GPO. This enables automatic, unattended installations on multiple computers instantly. See Microsoft's documentation for more information about performing silent MSI installs.
Mac Installation
To install the Desktop v6 app on macOS, visit the Files.com download page, locate the latest version, and click on the .pkg
file to download it. The app requires macOS 10.14 or later. After downloading, double-click the .pkg
file and follow the on-screen instructions. Launch the app from the Applications folder. Administrator privileges are not required on macOS to install or update the app.
For large-scale deployments, download the .dmg
file from the same download page, which can be distributed using deployment tools such as Munki, Jamf, or Microsoft Intune. For additional guidance, see Apple’s documentation on deploying and managing software on macOS computers.
