Sending files to Android devices

This functionality is available with Kaspersky Security Center Linux 15.2 or later.

Kaspersky Security Center Web Console lets you send files in any format to Android devices in all operating modes.

Sending files is available with a license that provides the extended functionality of Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management. For detailed information on licenses, refer to the About the license section.

Before you send files to devices, you must add files to the Administration Server. You can add files in the Apps & files section and then select which files to send to devices in the File sharing policy settings.

Each file may be no larger than 1.5 GB.

For file sharing to work, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android must be granted the "All files access" permission on devices running Android 11 or later or the "Storage" permission on devices running Android 10 or earlier.

On devices with a corporate container, you can copy the files that you send to the corporate container to the user's personal space.

Adding and managing files

To add files to the Administration Server:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Mobile → Apps & files.
2. Select Android → Files.

   The list of files opens.

3. Click Add.

   The Add file window opens.

4. Click Select to select the file that you want to add.
5. If necessary, in the Description field, enter additional information about the file.
6. Click Add.

The file will be added to the Administration Server.

You can delete files or download them to your computer using the corresponding buttons at the top of the list.

If you delete a file in the Apps & files section, it is deleted from the Administration Server but remains on devices. To remove the file from devices, delete it in the File sharing policy settings.

You can view information about any file in the list by clicking its name.

Sending files to devices

To send files to devices:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
3. Select Android and go to the Device configuration section.
4. On the File sharing card, click Settings.

   The File sharing window opens.

   The Add file window opens.

7. In the File name drop-down list, select a file that you added in the Apps & files section.
8. In the Root folder drop-down list, do one of the following:
   • Select a standard root folder on devices.
   • Select Custom folder to specify the root folder manually in the Folder field.
9. In the Folder field, do one of the following:
   • If you selected a standard root folder, specify the rest of the path of the folder to which the file will be sent.
   • If you selected Custom folder, specify the full path of the folder to which the file will be sent.

   The path must use slashes (/) as separators and may include letters, digits, underscore characters (_), and dashes (-).

   If the folder you specify does not exist on devices, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android creates it automatically.

10. If you want to send several files to devices, click Add file and repeat steps 7-9.
11. Click Add.

    The new file appears in the list.

12. Click OK.
13. Click Save to save the changes you have made.

Files are sent to devices after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center. Due to technical limitations, delivering large files to devices may take some time.

You can delete files from devices using the corresponding button at the top of the list.

If you delete a file in the File sharing policy settings, it is deleted from devices but remains on the Administration Server.
