Cloud collaboration

Cloud collaboration is a team collaboration method where colleagues can work
together on documents housed in the cloud, with everyone able to access the same
files and edit them in real-time.

Team members can view and edit the documents at any time, from any location

– including when they are working simultaneously. Edits are visible to all team
members as they are made, and changes are saved and synced so that every user
sees the same version of the project.

Cloud collaboration eliminates the confusion caused by having multiple versions
of the same documents or the trials of attempting to merge resulting files.

The rapid growth of cloud computing services and collaboration technologies has

obvious benefits for remote and hybrid workforces. It enables teams to work
together and achieve their shared goals without being together physically in the
workplace.

Benefits of cloud collaboration

Cloud collaboration helps to build a sense of community through teamwork,
increases productivity and stimulates creativity.

Using this method makes it easier to make the transition to a remote workforce.
That’s thanks to the associated benefits of reducing company overheads,
minimising the environmental impact of commuting, and improving employees’
work-life balance.
