Automatically Store backpack files in a specific directory on mobile device

[Jali]

Currently I can push files from Meraki MDM to remote devices via backpack feature.

I see, end users can open the Meraki Systems Manager app installed on their devices and click on Backpack to see these files.

Is it somehow possible to automatically store these backpack files in a specific directory on mobile.
so that another app (developed by our team) can read these files. Idea here is to download the files managed in MDM to our own mobile app to read the content.

Please help.

Thanks a lot.

This would be a feature request at this time. Backpack simply shows the files within the Meraki MDM app, which the user can then choose to save where they wish.

Thanks for the answer. meaning this is same on both Andriod/IOS devices. that MDM system manager cannot push the files automatically to specific location. even by using some specific (e.g. managed/root) account ?

Correct, this is not a supported feature. Echo'ing @PhilipDAth, especially on iOS (which has a very limited concept for a file structure) containerisation would mostly prevent this due to security / data segmentation policies. 

Ideally you could use Managed App Config to "instruct" the app to download requires files from an internet-based file resource, however this requires the app to support this. https://documentation.meraki.com/SM/Profiles_and_Settings/Using_the_Managed_App_Settings_Payload

I don't think this would be possible.  Apps on Android and iOS are containerised.  One app can not access another apps files, or even a file outside of its own container.

For Android you could create your own custom APK with the files, and push that though.  And when you update the files, just push the APK again.
