Working at home? These tools you’ll need (3/5)

Working from home is an art. It gets a lot easier with the tools below. In this blog series, we look at the following tools that make working from home easier to “work” with:

• a communication tool;
• a meeting tool;
• a tool for storage;
• A tool for organizing your work;
• A tool for whiteboarding.

In this article, we look at useful tools for Agile storage.

Storage

As a team, you often work together on deliverables. Documents, presentations, spreadsheet, etc. Of course, you want to be able to save and share these easily with each other. Ideally, you can work on the same document in real time with multiple people simultaneously.

Google Drive

Google Drive is my go-to storage tool. It’s free and super easy to use. The Google Suite of docs, spreadsheets and presentations support simultaneous editing and changes are easy to find.

Microsoft Office365

This is Microsoft’s answer to the Google Suite. Microsoft OneDrive is the storage facility and Office365 includes Web and desktop versions of industry standards such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Also supports real-time collaboration. Unlike the Google Suite, O365 is not free to use.

WeTransfer Collect

WeTransfer has launched the mobile app “Collect by WeTransfer. It allows users to create and share digital clipping folders.

Until now, this sharing service has focused mainly on sending files. To that now comes the element of co-creation.

In addition to files, it is possible to sort links to Web pages and, for example, audio and video streams in a folder. The link can be shared with others, who in turn also contribute to the board. Simple!
