SAN FRANCISCO, November 13, 2013. FileOpen Systems, a leader in document security and rights management, today unveiled the FileOpen Viewer for Android™ devices, strengthening its support for secure file sharing on mobile platforms. Leveraging FileOpen’s core document security technology, the new FileOpen Viewer not only protects files from unauthorized sharing, but also enforces granular access controls such as document expiration, saving of local copies, and the imposition of user-specific watermarks. Designed to work with FileOpen document security and rights management products, the FileOpen Viewer for Android devices is now available for download for free from Google Play.
With the addition of FileOpen Viewer for Android, FileOpen’s customers can now support users on devices such as the Google™ Nexus, Motorola Droid™ X, and Samsung Galaxy™, in addition to Apple® iOS devices such as the iPad and iPhone. The company will continue to support users on Windows and Mac, as well.
"Mobile and tablet-based devices have truly changed the way work gets done," said Sanford Bingham, President and CEO, FileOpen Systems Inc. "We developed the FileOpen Viewer app to bring the same stringent level of document security to Android that we have delivered to other platforms, all while meeting the users’ demand for ease and productivity.”

The FileOpen Viewer for Android represents the next generation of the company’s document rights management solutions, which have become a *de facto *standard for the distribution of valuable and sensitive digital documents. While FileOpen’s flagship products have leveraged the company’s partnership with Adobe Systems to secure PDF documents within Adobe Reader®, the FileOpen Viewer extends that functionality to a broad array of file formats and devices.
FileOpen Viewer enables businesses to:
FileOpen’s longstanding customers have welcomed the addition. *“*As a global [provider of Virtual Data Room](http://www.ethosdata.com/Virtual-Data-Room-Provider) (VDR) services, our customers need a simple, easy way to consume information on-the-go,” said Francisco Lorca, CEO of Ethos Data, “We have been working with FileOpen for more than seven years and have seen firsthand the benefits of FileOpen DRM and are excited for the extended support of the new Android app.”
The FileOpen Viewer apps are available via the [Apple App Store](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fileopen-viewer/id520287055?ls=1&mt=8%20) and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.fileopen.ios&hl=en). Securing and managing document permissions require a license to FileOpen SDK, [RightsManager](https://www.fileopen.com/products/fileopen-hosted/) or [RightsServer](https://www.fileopen.com/products/rightsserver/).
