Introducing 
BlackBerry Workspaces
 for 
Windows

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.
