What features are included in the app?

You will find the following features in the app, depending on the folder rights you have been given:

What happens to the files I add to the app without an internet connection?
A connection to the Internet is a prerequisite for uploading to Skyfish. Should you lose your connection during a large upload, Skyfish will let you know which files failed so you can try again later.
How to change the language of the app?
The app’s language automatically matches the language setting on your phone.
The language options are English, German, Spanish and Danish. If you are using another language than these three on your phone, English is selected by default.
