Welcome to the FileWave Foundry Onboarding Course. This course will introduce you to the basic features and functions of FileWave, a powerful device management solution for business and education. You will learn how to use FileWave to manage, support, and secure devices across multiple platforms, including macOS, Windows, iOS, tvOS, Android, and ChromeOS.
