Dropbox launches Spaces, its ‘smart’ collaboration workspace
Dropbox this week launched a collaboration hub designed to let users work together around a variety of documents, another step in the company’s evolution beyond cloud file-sharing into something more focused on productivity.
The San Francisco-based company initially revealed plans for its revamped application – now called Dropbox Spaces – in June, along with a new desktop app. Spaces acts as a shared folder for teams that combines documents from a range of sources in one place, with the ability to chat with colleagues and assign tasks. The new-look Dropbox and desktop app also connects with various third-party video and text communication platforms.
