# Mobile App

## General Introduction

The **fylr mobile app** allows you to connect to one or more **fylr instances**, browse collections, and upload files directly from your mobile device. To use the app, you must have access to a **running fylr installation** that you can connect to.

You can connect to multiple fylr systems by entering their **URL** on the home screen and logging in with a valid user account.

To use the app, your **license must include the fylr app component**, and your user account must have access to **collections** as well as permission to **upload files**.

Uploading files through the app is only possible via **collections**. You can upload files to existing collections that are enabled for uploads or create new collections directly in the app.

Depending on your system configuration, you may also need to select an **Object Type**, **Pool**, **Mask**, and a **file field**. After saving the collection, it is ready for uploading files.
