FIIP

A new device

What it is

When you sign in on a device FIIP DRIVE hasn't seen, it waits for approval. A device you already use, or an Owner or Admin, approves it with a short code. Approval is also how the new device gets your drives.

How to

On the new device

  1. Sign in. The screen says Waiting for approval and shows a short code.
  2. Keep that screen open. It signs in by itself once approved. Press Check now to look again.

On a device already signed in (or an Owner or Admin's)

  1. You get a notice: "<Device> wants to join". Open FIIP DRIVE. On Mac it is in the menu bar.
  2. Open Account from your photo. Under Add this device, find the request.
  3. Type the code shown on the new device into Code shown on <device>. If it belongs to a teammate, ask them to read it to you.
  4. Press Add device. Not expecting it? Press Decline.

The new device shows "You're in. This device is approved for <team>, and your drives are on their way." The approving device hands the drives over, and the page reads "<Device> is added, and <drives> are ready on it."

If something goes wrong

  • "That isn't the code on <device>. Type the code it shows." Check the code on the new device and try again.
  • "Nobody can approve this device yet." When an Owner or Admin signs in on a device, the request appears there.
  • Some drives are missing. Drives made before sharing existed can't be shared. Copy them into a new drive.
  • Wrong person's account. Press Use a different account.
