“This is inconvenient, not to mention expensive. “A lot of companies use Dropbox for file sharing, Google Docs for document editing, Skype for calling and WhatsApp for instant messaging,” Valyanov said. Valyanov compared it to end users making use of multiple services for a full collaboration suite. Obviously, that alone is not enough to compete with these giants, so we decided to add communication and collaboration tools right inside the app as well,” said Dmitry Valyanov, president of Bitrix, in a prepared statement.Īnd that’s where Bitrix hopes to make its file sync and share app stand out from the rest-in providing the collaboration applications around the documents. They can use Microsoft Office installed on their PC, or Microsoft Office Online or Google Docs. Nor do we restrict our users concerning what tools they use for document editing. Box, OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive all charge for the privilege or don’t offer the option at all. “We are currently the only online storage and file sharing service that has a free plan with group and company drives. The new desktop app is directly connected to Bitrix24’s online collaboration service, adding the ability to synchronize and work with group and company files.īut Bitrix isn’t just hoping to compete with the growing number of file sync and share cloud services out there, it seeks to provide additional value, including sharing, editing and collaborating on documents and the ability to send instant messages to co-workers, participate in group chat, make telephone calls and hold videoconferences. Bitrix24 is looking to take on file sync and share incumbents Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive with a new desktop application extending its collaboration capabilities.
