AOBox - New: Work on the right version, every time

Dear AOBox users,

We’re pleased to start the new year with a new version of AOBox!

With this release, we’ve added a file version management feature that will help you eliminate confusion about document versions and improve your productivity.

We’re currently working on our next version of AOBox. Don’t hesitate to share your feedback about AOBox with us using this form or our community. 

Collaborate on the right  document

Are you using AOBox to work collaboratively with non-Google users, but are concerned about how file versions are managed? With this new version, we’ve improved the upload feature to avoid conflicts when Guests upload new versions of files that are already in your AOBox folder.

A simple warning for a better experience: how does it work?

1. One of your Guests presses the Upload a new version button and selects the file they want to upload.
2. AOBox detects if there has been a modification on the AOBox file since the last time the Guest downloaded it.
3. When there’s a risk of conflict, a pop-up appears with two options for your Guest.

Other improvements

AOBox is now available in French! Vous pouvez dès à présent utiliser AOBox en français !

Coming soon

We’ll soon publish an AOBox marketplace application that allows administrators to install AOBox at the domain-level, which simplifies authentication for end-users.

Want to manage a request for proposal (RFP) using AOBox? We’re working on a new role called Uploader. Guests with the Uploader role will be authorized to upload files only - they won’t be able to view other Guests’ files or download. Combined with our sharing expiration feature, you’ll be able to manage contributions to your RFP and control the deadline for accessing the depository. 

Have a new feature idea or request for AOBox? Don’t hesitate to send us your feedback!

Sincerely,

The AOBox Team
