Good Day Members,

Carbonite is now a PWA (Progressive Web App) :cool::D
A progressive web app is similar to a native application you have on your phone, but will fundamentally still live on the web.
This means you can now add Carbonite as an app on your mobile device or tablet.
You can launch Carbonite from the app shortcut directly as well as receive push notifications to your device (if enabled).

Works on iOS and Android.

How to add the app to your mobile device/tablet?
  1. Make sure you are logged out of Carbonite on the device browser
  2. Clear your browser cache on your device
  3. Go to carbonite.co.za
  4. An option "Add Carbonite to Home screen" should appear (if not then try again the next day). Click on this option.

  5. Give your device a few seconds and then the Carbonite app will appear on your Home screen.

Carbonite notifications
Notifications can be set for Alerts, Push
  • Alerts is where the notifications are in Carbonite itself (the little bell icon at the top)
  • Push is only if you enabled push notifications and the notifications will be sent to each device where you enabled push notifications

Very nooiiiceee, thank you once again for the Carb improvements :)
 
After clearing browser history, went to Carbonite, it didn't give an option on the screen to add to home, but in the chrome options/settings, there was an option to 'install app' which then gave the option to install Carbonite and worked. This is on Android Samsung A50
 
In my case, no need to clear the browser, just close all tabs. Got the button as shown in OP, clicked on it, received an option to install the app, as above, but it installed it to the normal apps (i.e page 5) not the home screen.

Assuming this is normal?

This is awesome, thank you so much guys :) good work :)
