SYDNEY, Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at AirWatch Connect™ Sydney, AirWatch® by VMware®, the leading enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider, announced continued innovations to AirWatch Secure Content Locker®, the industry-leading enterprise file sync and share solution.

In addition to innovative Secure Content Locker customer adoption stories, including Adventist Health System and Intermountain Healthcare, analyst firms such as Ovum, Aragon and Info-Tech have continued to rank AirWatch Secure Content Locker among the top solutions for content syncing and sharing. These reports highlight strengths within Secure Content Locker, including the AirWatch background in mobile device management and security, which makes it a best-in-class solution for enterprises driving mobile innovation.

New product features available today mirror the AirWatch leadership in mobile, as Secure Content Locker continues to set the stage for the next generation of social and collaboration in the enterprise across mobile and desktop devices. For Secure Content Locker on iOS, new application enhancements that equip the mobile worker include:

File creation: Users can create new Microsoft Office and text documents, capture and upload audio files, images and videos and save annotated and edited files to a user-defined repository, all from an iOS device.
Personal Content enhancements: Users can access a Recent Activity feed for actions performed in Personal Content, mention other users in comments and see the owners' name on shared folders.
