Utilizing public cloud, SkyDesk Service offers applications required in a diverse range of business communications for the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) market.
SkyDesk Docs is a service that stores and manages various documents and files in online storage areas. Unlike simple file storages, the document files stored in SkyDesk Docs are linked with SkyDesk Writer (document creation), Sheet (spreadsheet), Show (presentation) and other kinds of applications, allowing users to view and edit the documents online. It also enables collaborative work through chats and comment-adding functions while multiple members simultaneously view and work on the same document online.
SkyDesk Docs Standard
Increasing storage capacity according to usage status
The storage capacity is increased to five gigabytes with SkyDesk Docs Standard (one gigabyte was the maximum capacity with the free service). File storage capacity can be increased in accord with the increase of members within a unitformed with members who are registered to SkyDeskor by how much storage is used to store and share files. The capacity for a single upload is also increased to 250 megabytes, enabling large file uploads such as voice/movie data (50 megabytes was the maximum with the free service).
Promoting more streamlined information sharing with the use of Work Space
Work space, which is a file sharing cabinet of SkyDesk Docs, can now be registered to a maximum of 10. This supports easy and efficient information sharing among registered members by allowing them to configure shared settings according to project details and the type of data to be shared.
