Space and cellular data usage on your mobile device

This topic describes how the mobile app uses resources on your mobile device.

Space usage

For each file that you view or download, the app caches the file to your device. You can limit the amount of space that the app can use for caching files. For information on doing this, see Configuring the file cache.

When you add a file to your list of favorites, the app saves a copy of the file on your device.

For information on viewing the amount of space that cached and favorite files occupy on your device, see Viewing user and app information.

Note: On Android devices and Windows Phones, HCP Anywhere uses space only on the device itself, not on the SD card (if the device has one).

Cellular data usage

The app requires Internet connectivity for:

Updating directory listings

Retrieving file contents

Adding files from your device to HCP Anywhere

Adding files to your list of favorites

Creating links for sharing files

To manage the amount of cellular data that the app uses when you are connected to a mobile network, you can:

Configure the app to perform data-intensive activities only while on a WiFi network. For information on doing this, see Configuring WiFi-only access.

Specify a maximum file size for file downloads and uploads. For information on doing this, see Configuring file size limit.
