I'm using FileDepot within Commons 3 and, in general, it works great. However, I noticed that on mobile it has some issues. Based on the suggestion to remove all side blocks on a normal sized screen I was guessing it wouldn't work well on mobile :) Is there any way to improve the usability on mobile with some (fairly) simple theme changes? if not, would it be possible to add files using a slightly different interface? I *think* I could use Views to make some pages that have a mobile friendly list of files for each Organic Group.

or is FileDepot probably not a good solution if there will be a lot of mobile usage?

Thanks.

Issue summary: View changes

I just wanted to share a temporary solution. I have a responsive theme. I created a panel and displayed /filedepotview. This shows all of the filedepot file links in a list format that has 100% width. I then created a secondary mobile menu to display this view using Context Mobile Detect module. Then I would just disable the file folder links to prevent the user from going back to the desktop version. Hope that somewhat makes sense or gives some direction.
