Wave Goodbye to Email Chaos: M-Files Hubshare Streamlines Content Collaboration

Matthew Lamont • January 20, 2025

Introduction

In today's interconnected business world, secure and efficient content sharing with external stakeholders is crucial for success. Traditional methods such as email are inefficient and lack version control, hindering productivity. The good news is that there is a better way.

The Problem with Email for Collaboration

Relying on email for content sharing often leads to inefficiency and a lack of control, hindering collaboration. These are some common problems:


  • Version Control Issues: When sharing documents back and forth via email, it becomes challenging to keep track of the latest version. This can lead to confusion, errors, and wasted time as collaborators may be working on different iterations of the same document.
  • Scattered Information: Important information gets buried within long email chains, making it difficult to locate the necessary files or details. This lack of organisation hinders efficient collaboration and decision-making.
  • Limited Security: Email lacks granular permission controls, making it difficult to restrict access to sensitive information. This poses security risks, particularly when sharing confidential documents with external parties.
  • Cumbersome Collaboration: Collaborating on documents via email involves sending files back and forth, leading to delays and version control issues. Real-time collaboration is not possible, hindering efficient workflows.
  • Poor User Experience: Navigating through email threads to find the relevant information is a time-consuming and frustrating process, leading to a poor user experience.
