BlackBerry Workspaces for Windows enables you to easily and intuitively synchronize and share your folders and files with other users directly from your computer.

When you install BlackBerry Workspaces for Windows, you create a Workspaces folder on your computer that you can manage your files and workspaces from, just as with any folder on your computer. The Workspaces folder is automatically synced with the BlackBerry Workspaces server, and can be accessed from the BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application and on any other devices where you have Workspaces installed.

The Workspaces folder contains workspaces, which are folders that you create or that are shared with you by other users. If you are a workspace owner, you are also assigned a personal workspace the first time that you synchronize with the Workspaces Web Application. When you use the move to Workspaces command, folders and files are automatically placed in your personal folder, which is called My Workspace.

You can share your workspaces with other users. New files and changes you or other users make in a shared workspace are automatically synced to all the members of this workspace.

You can use the advanced features of BlackBerry Workspaces to restore changes, recover deleted files, and assign user roles (such as Contributor with permissions to upload new files, or as Visitor without permissions to upload new files).

You can also view tracked information of user activities affecting the files in your workspaces.

Send files and collaborate securely from Microsoft Outlook

BlackBerry Workspaces for Windows includes a plugin for Microsoft Outlook that can protect attachments in outgoing emails. When you choose to protect your attachments, Workspaces replaces the attachment with a link that recipients can go to in order to download the file. This link will also upload, encrypt, and store the file on the BlackBerry Workspaces server.

You can enable collaboration to allow your recipients to work on shared files and track any actions made on the file directly within Outlook.

Open and save files to BlackBerry Workspaces directly from Microsoft Office

BlackBerry Workspaces for Windows integrates seamlessly into your existing Microsoft Office workflows. You can open, edit and save files directly to BlackBerry Workspaces from Microsoft Office desktop programs. You can also save files while they are open in Microsoft Office, and are constantly synchronized with the BlackBerry Workspaces server.
