Scenarios
Centralized document management: Team office documents, project documents, customer information, technical materials, and other files are often scattered across employees' personal computers. The storage methods are disorganized, creating risks of important data leakage, damage, or loss, making effective unified centralized control impossible.
File search: Teams accumulate massive documents over time, making finding files extremely difficult for daily workers, consuming significant time and affecting office efficiency.
File transfer: Teams need to frequently transfer materials and large files internally or with upstream and downstream customers. Traditional transfer tools such as certain instant messaging tools and email have file size limitations and slow transfer speeds.
Document sharing and collaboration: File circulation mainly relies on traditional methods such as instant messaging tools, email, USB drives, etc. Each modification requires repeated sending, easily causing version confusion, resulting in low collaboration efficiency, security risks, and high communication costs, reducing team execution.
File permission control: When files are used and circulated within a team, file creators have different requirements for operation permissions among collaborating members. If permissions are public to everyone, issues such as accidental file deletion, data leaks, and file damage may occur.
Mobile office: Office locations frequently change, whether on high-speed trains, airplanes, or in traffic jams. When files are stored on computers, timely access to the latest materials cannot be guaranteed, and the needs of leaders and customers cannot be addressed promptly.
