A work/life balance was a state that most were striving for before the Covid-19 pandemic but within a matter of weeks, the way we work and do routines has changed. The transition to working from home may have hindered the progress of achieving this balance. Working from early until late is easier without facing the forced breaks of the bus or train to and from the office each day. We want to share some tips and tricks we’ve been working on to keep up this important balance:

Collaboration through online sharing of files and folders has become the norm for almost every business, this has created a need for successful filing. We have all been in a situation where we are trying to find documents in amongst an unordered mess of files that we *think* we may need again (Side tip: ARCHIVE!).

Collaboration through sharing files, having them digitally signed and working together on documents are all now a part of everyday working life. Connect allows you to utilise all of the above current SuiteFiles features, but with the ability to share these with non-SuiteFiles users.

SuiteFiles can help you maximise your productivity on a daily basis, we have compiled a list of our favourite Connect features to help you do just that!
