Collaboration (Library)

Collaboration module allows you to invite third party associates to view and update the files and folders. Different from sharing, here you can invite your key business associates who may or may not be ConvergeHub users. When you send an invitation, the invitee will automatically receive an e-mail. If the invitee is an existing ConvergeHub user, he/she can log into ConvergeHub and can view the file or folder under the Library section.

If the invitee is not a user of ConvergeHub, he/she needs to register in ConvergeHub to view the file or folder. (The registration is free.) Post the registration done, the invitee can access ConvergeHub with a similar user interface but with limited features.
