Hypergate’s Newest Addition

Hypergate Authenticator was the first product launched by Hypergate. Throughout the past two years we have seen the immense impact our product made. During our conversations the need crystallized for a mobile application, as slick and secure as Hypergate, allowing secure access to on-premise files with outstanding usability. We are proud to introduce Hypergate Files.

Hypergate Files provides seamless access to on-premise network shares. It lets you collaborate freely with your team and enables you to edit all files directly on your mobile devices.

Product overview

Imagine needing to access a file on the go. Currently there are various solutions that offer the claimed functionality, unfortunately all of them have drawbacks. Some need additional backend components, some do not integrate into the existing user management and many of them build on proprietary and therefore very limited file editors or viewers. That’s why Hypergate Files was born.
Hypergate Files leverages the mobile operating systems existing file browser to have the best user experience possible, while using existing apps familiar from everyday use. Word documents open in Microsoft Word, PDFs in Adobe Viewer, Images in your prefered Picture Viewer and even more advanced formats such as CAD files will open without any problems.
Hypergate Files also integrates with the most common file sharing protocol SMB/CIFS which as an example perfectly integrates into Microsoft Sharepoint.
