This year, we donated to UNICEF, Brighter Children, Cradles to Crayons, and Hope ry, all of which are non-profit organizations that support children and families worldwide.

New Features and Enhancement Highlights

Desktop Co-Authoring
A new Version editors property shows who edited or co-authored each document version, improving compliance and auditability.
Note: Replication packages do not yet include this new property for compatibility with older vaults. The property appears even if co authoring is not used.

View Management
Admins can show object counts in virtual folders. Users can filter views with custom ACLs to see only the items they are allowed to access.

Web Automatic Logout
Improved license use and security through inactivity detection. User actions keep the session active; if no activity is detected, the client logs out and returns to the login page.

M-Files Supporting Children and Families Around the World

M-Files is proud to highlight the organizations to which we have made donations this year. Each plays a vital role in supporting children and families worldwide, advancing education, well being, and essential resources for vulnerable communities. We are honored to contribute to their impact.

UNICEF: A global organization improving the lives of children in more than 190 countries. They expand access to health care, education, clean water, nutrition, and protection from violence, with a focus on the most vulnerable communities. By responding quickly to emergencies and building long term solutions with governments and local partners, UNICEF works to ensure every child can grow, learn, and thrive.

Brighter Children: A nonprofit breaking the cycle of poverty through education by partnering with early-stage education entrepreneurs to build and scale schools in underserved communities. Since 2013 they have enabled over 6.2 million hours of learning and provided thousands of scholarships to ensure vulnerable children access quality primary education. 

Cradles to Crayons® (C2C®): works to end clothing insecurity for children by providing free new and gently used clothing and essentials to those experiencing homelessness, crisis, or low income. Through donations, education, advocacy, and 50,000+ volunteers, C2C distributes over one million clothing packages annually to families in the USA, partnering with nearly 350 service organizations.

Hope ry: A Finnish non-profit reducing inequality and preventing social exclusion among children and families in low-income situations. In 2025 they provided 4.5 million euros worth of assistance through donated items, hobby funding, and food aid, relying on volunteers and community-driven impact across Finland.
