With cloud services and the like, you can share data across locations, people and devices. A key requirement for successful collaborative work is fast, efficient data synchronization in real time.
Cloud Services: Access to the latest version anywhere, anytime
Collaboration is not only the work of the future, but in many industries already today reality. Surely you remember the days when you and your colleagues had to send different versions of the same file back and forth. Only so that the same file is stored on all computers at the end. Especially with complex files and approaching deadlines, errors and data loss were almost inevitable. With the use of cloud services, this data exchange has become much easier. There is only one original file left that is stored in the cloud and that you can access with your colleagues from different devices, regardless of whether you switch from the computer to the smartphone or work together on a project with a colleague at another location. Of course, collaborative work can only work if you have access to the latest version of the file in the cloud at all times. This is where real-time data synchronization comes in.
Manual, scheduled or real-time data synchronization
Data synchronization is not equal to data synchronization. The functionality and practicability of the different approaches to data synchronization differ considerably in the way they are used in everyday working life. This procedure is particularly popular for the creation of security backups or the synchronization of extensive databases. Here, a comparatively “inactive” period – such as 4 a.m. – is often used to perform a synchronization between several devices. With manual synchronization, you determine yourself when and how often data should be synchronized. Many cloud services offer this option in addition to scheduled data synchronization. With TeamDrive, we go one step further: with almost real-time data synchronization, you can access the latest file version from any device at any time.
Any number of data, any number of devices
With TeamDrive you can share existing files or folders as well as create new shared folders. The number of shared data is just as unrestricted as the number of synchronized devices. As soon as you move a folder into TeamDrive, data synchronization automatically starts between all devices on which you have installed TeamDrive – even while you are offline. Changes to a file are also automatically synchronised. So you can switch from one device to another quickly and easily at any time. The automatic compression of the file before synchronization makes this process even faster, making it easy to quickly make a change to a presentation on the way to the customer appointment or to continue working in the home office. And if a small error should occur: With the extensive version and activity history (audit trail), all editors of the file can check who made which changes and when – and easily undo them if necessary. For example, you can restore earlier file versions without much effort.
