Anchor Synced Tool for Android Version 4.2 Release Notes

We are pleased to announce Anchor Synced Tool for Android 4.2, our latest release which includes important new features and improvements related to performance and user experience. 

Features 

• Release 4.2 consolidates the colors and icons used in the UI, and should streamline user support requests: you no longer need to identify the platform in use to explain menu navigation and describe expected results.

   UI Before:                                                                         UI After:

• The separate button for Web Preview was removed, since that button was rarely being used. Why? Native editors often showed better performance than Web Preview - and, if a user has no permissions to view a file, the file now opens in Web Preview automatically anyway. The extra button was removed to streamline the look and feel.   
• The app now fully supports Team Share permissions. If a user attempts to perform a non-permitted action, they'll see a clear education message. For example, if a user does not have item sync permission, they will see the following insufficient permissions message (and will be unable to download a file): 

However, since a user can still view the file in Web Previewer, permissions are now checked and the user automatically falls back to Web Preview, as needed.

Improvements

• Error handling is improved when a user does not allow Synced Tool for Android to access files on the device.  
• The required two-step authentication organization policy is now enforced.
