HCP Anywhere User Help
In addition to uploading files from within HCP Anywhere, you can also upload files to your HCP Anywhere account from other mobile applications.
•Apple Devices — On Apple devices, you can upload files from other mobile applications to HCP Anywhere using the iOS "Open In" menu wherever it appears or through Share Extension. Using the "Open In" menu, you can upload only one file at a time. Using iOS Share Extension, you can upload up to 10 files to your HCP Anywhere account at once, as long as the application you are using allows you to select multiple files.

•Android Devices — On Android devices, you can upload files to HCP Anywhere from other applications using the "Open In" menu. The number of files that you can add at a time is limited by the number of notifications that the app can create in the Notification Drawer on your device. At most, you can upload 49 files to HCP Anywhere at a time. For more information, see About Android app notifications.
