M-Files Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I want to use M-Files?

Put simply, to make saving and finding documents quick and easy.

Are there any other benefits to using M-Files?

Yes – lots!  These include:-

§  Automatic version history for your documents

§  Easy, efficient, consistent use of document templates

§  Check in/Check out control of editing

§  Improved information security

§  Automated workflows

What if I need to store some documents in several different folders?

M-Files allows you to associate a document with as many different projects/customers/locations as you choose – all with only a single copy of the document.

I often work form home as do my employees- can I use M-Files from a home office?

Yes.  M-Files is designed to be fast and responsive even over restricted bandwidth connections to ‘head office’.

I need to take documents with me when I travel – how does that work?

M-Files allows you to mark documents for ‘off-line’ working – the documents are held on your notebook hard drive and are automatically synchronised when you return.

I sometimes use a Mac- can M-Files work with Macs?

M-Files is a Windows application. However it has a Web Access module which makes all the benefits available via any web browser, including Mac, Linux etc.

Can M-Files be used to share documents with my customers?

Yes, the Web Access module can be used to share selected documents with external organisations.  There is also a ‘Publishing Portal’ module to cope with more sophisticated requirements.

I’m a sole trader- can I afford M-Files and would I benefit from it?

Yes – definitely!  M-Files is licensed per user, there is no large initial cost for the software.  Your time is especially valuable if you have to do everything, so the benefits of using M-Files are even greater for the sole trader.
