Sharing Documents
Filed under: cloud
By today’s standards, the office is not really where a lot of us work anymore. Work is more a mindset than a location than ever before, and especially in the Information Technology field, where collaboration and working with others takes place. There are amazing tools and programs that we all use to get our jobs done, especially when it comes to documents and spreadsheets. When going through the planning and writing stage, I’ve already highlighted how SupraSphere shines, but there is a wholly different aspect to the sharing and working together that can be achieved.
Much like email, adding an attachment to SupraSphere itself is really simple, and in doing so, you are left with several options after the upload. In compliance with internet standardization, SS automatically converts documents into .pdf format. This is a benefit for users without an office suite, and turns the document into an ultra-portable ‘read-only’ document. This especially closes the door on any malicious code (macros, anyone?) in a document form, continuing our philosophy of being secure.
But, what if what you attached to your sphere is something still in the process of editing? Well, as long as you don’t upload a .pdf, you can keep the original form as well. This then enables several options, opening the document, opening the document for editing, opening as a .pdf, saving it as a .pdf, a ’save as’ option, and a delete option. I really like the ability to open for editing, as it will open the default program installed on my computer (such as Microsoft Word or Open Office), and then I can edit it, and click save. Instead of saving to my hard drive, it saves as a reply attachment to the original on the sphere.
SS is transformed into a portable file cabinet/email/messaging/bookmarking/rss manager-thing. I love it. I’m sure you will too.
