Viewing & Editing Documents online

Starting from earlier versions of iDrivePortal provides not only a viewing function, but also the ability to edit documents, tables and presentations online using only a browser. iDrivePortal interacts with the leading online editing services, such as Google docs, Microsoft online, Office 365, ONLYOFFICE, and provides their interface in order to edit documents stored within iDrivePortal Azure storage account(s). From now on, there is no need for the users to download the app's desktop to work with documents, and move documents. Online editors and viewers support the most types of Office files from Microsoft, free OpenOffice, pdf, and other files.

Collaborate Edit of office documents

iDrivePortal supports real-time collaborative editing feature (showing all changes instantly for all users) using ONLYOFFICE suite. Commenting and built-in chat, reviewing and tracking changes are also available in ONLYOFFICE.

iDrivePortal supports joint work on documents in desktop MS Office. A user, who first opened a document for review, has the ability to save changes. Other users can make changes in the document, but they cannot save their changes until the first user closes the document. Once the document lock is removed (that means that the first user has closed the document), then other users will receive a notification that the document is available for editing. All the changes will be automatically loaded. Thus, no changes will be lost: either made by the first user, or by other users.

Sharing Documents & Folders between users

Two (2) types of the documents and folders Sharing function is available for the users: internal links to the users, who have profiles in iDrivePortal and public links for the anonymous users (no registration required). From now on, all the users can create their own storages from any folder and allow their friends uploading the documents. Also they can share the documents and allow downloading them to all those, who will receive the public link.
