Our innovative and industry leading service of online encrypted filesystems is built with a standards-based methodology on our usage of technology in an architecture-independent environment. What does this mean for you? Simply put, SwissDisk will work with almost any operating system and browser you choose to use it with.

Below is a list of minimal system requirements and recommended hardware and software for various desktop and mobile computing platforms. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact our Customer Support Center.

HTML Browser Support

Handheld Support: There are countless combinations of handheld operating systems, browsers and supporting software to access and edit documents on your encrypted storage with SwissDisk. Our service will work with any handheld that that has internet access, however, certain browsers and document readers work better than others. We highly suggest those that utilize standard implementations of SSL, HTTPS and CCS. To date these include, the Palm, Symbian and Windows 2003 Mobile Operating systems.
