Some people hesitate when considering the incorporation of file sharing solutions into their business. Whether it be the risks, the costs, or the fear of office detachment, something may be still holding you back. We’re here to quell your concerns and reassure you that it’s a benefit to modern business. If you’re still worried, here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t be.
Modern File Sharing is Secure.
While a good deal is still done through traditional email, the act of file sharing is quickly shifting to online services specifically designed for that purpose. Nowadays, coworkers can use the services to chat in real-time, send files for review, and even approve work or request immediate changes. All of which is safely guarded by the service’s security protocols. While your email server might be hacked due to not enough security, the chances of the service’s networked being hacked are far smaller – so share with confidence!
File Sharing Increases Productivity.
When you can quickly share a file with a collaborator, team, or client, you typically get feedback and approvals much more rapidly. That translates into getting tasks completed quicker and increasing your production rate. Another remarkable aspect is the diversity of modern file sharing software. Let’s say you have a major project due on a certain day. On the day it’s due, you need one last part completed by a key employee – who wakes up that morning with a stomach bug and 102 fever. No problem! The software allows them to sign in from home, finish the work, send it in, and you hit your deadline while they convalesce. It’s a win all around.
File Sharing Encourages Collaboration.
There is lots of value in the input of others. Regardless of the talent level of an individual employee, the finished product they create can usually be improved, or “tweaked”, by feedback offered from fellow employees. Besides improving the product itself, one of the greatest benefits of collaboration is that other employees may catch mistakes and inaccuracies which may then be corrected before the product is presented to the client. Few things in business feel worse than when a client points out a mistake in a file that was not caught internally before going out. File sharing within the company dramatically cuts down on your clients seeing an error in the final product.
