Question: Can documents be live edited within WICKR?
Answer: No, the document must be downloaded, edited and uploaded.
Can we collaborate on a document prepared in a word format, revise, and then store?
- Work tools like G-Suite, Office 365, Box, and Dropbox allows users to send documents, render in a browser or app, collaborate inline/online and store/share in public share drives. This makes it easy to share edits to a document, but it also creates risks when anyone can add participants and edit documents beyond your control. This may be fine for trivial work tasks, but isn’t sufficient for sensitive and high-target business collaboration when it is important to retain control over access to proprietary documents and commentary.
- With Wickr, you and those you trust on your network are the only ones who have access to your proprietary information. Neither Wickr, nor any other 3rd parties have access to your communications, which significantly minimizes your risk in case of a breach since all data is encrypted on the end points and never touches Wickr servers in plain text.
- Wickr does not provide direct inline/online document collaboration in real-time. Wickr users can work locally on documents (or through 3rd-party cloud-enabled shared drives), send encrypted documents or links through Wickr and receive updated documents securely back through Wickr. In addition, teams can use Wickr’s Secure Rooms as shared file repository or a vault to maintain full control over permissions and documents.
