Document collaboration

Document collaboration means several people creating and editing documents together, ideally directly in the browser without local software.

What is document collaboration?

Document collaboration means creating and editing documents together with several people. Instead of emailing files back and forth, everyone works on one central, up-to-date version.

Why collaborate in the cloud?

A central location prevents file chaos and outdated versions. Everyone sees the same state, changes are traceable, and working with external partners becomes easier.

What should companies look for?

  • Editing directly in the browser, no installation
  • Granular access rights per document
  • Version history and restore
  • Encryption and a server location in Germany

How SecureCloud enables document collaboration

With SecureWork, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents can be edited together directly in the browser, including with external partners who have no account. Combined with granular rights, version history and hosting in Germany, collaboration stays secure and GDPR-compliant.
