Q: OS X Server 5  iOS File Share Functionality

Has anyone successfully managed to setup iOS file sharing to iOS 9 devices?

 

Ive tried many times but nothing seems to work, old users/new users with all services enabled and on, all give the message "No services are enabled for this account".

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11), OS X Server

    Almost seems as if credentials aren't even working, i can put any random username/pass combination on iOS 9 when trying to connect and it returns the same "No services are enabled for this account"

    I've also got this problem.

     

    OSX Server 5.0.4 on OSX 10.10.5.

    IOS 9.0.2.

     

    This USED to work on IOS 8.  Something is quite broken now.

    I was talking to the Server support team, and the person said they had not heard of this problem.  I pointed out the lack of sync with google as well.  This was on Monday, so there's still time for them to identify the bug.  Not holding my breath on getting it fixed though.

    I talked with a server support person on Oct 4, but haven't heard a word since.  I'll keep trying.

    is the running Yosemite or El Capitan? When I first upgraded the server running Yosemite I experienced a similar issue for some users. I then upgraded the server to El Capitan and I was able to use file sharing from IOS. At the same time other services are not behaving as I would like. for example, at the moment I can't see my websites from external locations.

    Hi Kpcolo,

     

    As mentioned above, I'm running 10.10.5 (Yosemite). This was working fine with IOS8, but not IOS9. 

     

    BTW, just for grins, I tried a different calendar app on the iPhone5, and got the exact same results.  So, it is a problem with sync library on IOS. 

     

    Honestly, this shouldn't be this hard for them to do - they have some of the best CALDAV people in the world working for them - they worked on SyncML and OMA DS for goodness sake.

    Done a clean install of OS X and Server and now it works. On the contrary, having iOS file shares enabled caused me 30-40% extra CPU usage due to process sdmd (iOS file sharing process), bug or whatever I'm not sure but it wasn't ideal.
