M-Files for Chrome makes editing documents more effortless by allowing you to check them out for editing as well as to check them back in once you are done.
M-Files for Chrome is supported both for Windows and macOS users.
Note: It is advised to clear the cache of your Google Chrome browser and reinstall the M-Files for Chrome extension, if the yellow ribbon remains in your M-Files Web or you are having trouble updating the extension.
Not working on a locked down VDI session using Chrome v84. Why we even need to install node.js runtime binaries on a Windows machine that has native support for v8 via Chrome is beyond me.
Does not recognised it has been installed – display the same yellow banner asking to be installed.
Now supports macOS, awesome! The installation is a bit complicated though (Mojave):
1. Add the Chrome extension for chrome web store. That gives you an “M” icon next to the address bar in Chrome.
2. Click M icon, go to Options – it opens a new Chrome tab.
3. In that tab click on “install…another thing”. Chrome downloads a ZIP file.
4. Open the ZIP file, inside is a single “M-Files-for-Chrome.app”.
5. Double click that app to install. It will fail since it’s not signed nor from Apple App store.
6. Go to macOS System Preferences->Security.
7. There in General tab you will see an “Open Anyway” override to install said app.
8. Click that Open Anyway and confirm to start the M-Files-for-Chrome.app. It will open another window with text showing progress (apparently installing stuff)
9. Close that window once it instructs to do so.
10. Restart Chrome (maybe clear cache too) by using Quit Chrome from its menu
11. In Chrome you will see a notification popup when you access a new M-Files vault, you need to Allow that.
12. Yellow bar should be gone. You can now open a MS Word file by double clicking, then select Check Out or Read Only and it opens directly in MS Word.
Works under macOS Mojave with MS Office apps. Pages/Numbers will open, but you cannot save back easily.
Chrome on Windows 10 does not recognize it, it will install but when you start M-Files – it communicates to install M-Files for Chrome even though it is already done. Anyone have a solution?
Doesnt work on my Chrome. It’s greyed out all the time except when I go to M Files’ commercial website
Doesn’t work for us.
Doesn’t function. Chrome never recognises that it’s installed. No benefit for having had it installed can be seen at all! 🙁
keeps crashing/not working using the chrome extension, soooo frustrating! Can’t access documents I need for work.
merci
