Linkedin App that Allows You To Share Documents With Group Members or Employers
Box.net is a leading edge provider in services that allow people to share and manage files online. The company is all over the internet landscape in terms of "cloud" file storage.
The Box.net application is a very easy to use tool that allows you to upload, manage and share compatible documents on your Linkedin pages. Some examples would be powerpoint presentations, excel charts, word documents, etc.
Why is it Helpful? - Cool Features
1. You can share any of your legal and relevant work examples for HR recruiters. Having examples of your work can open more doors for you in the job search process.
2. If you are involved in groups on the network, you may realize that many groups feature people from all over the nation/globe. Communication is simple, but if you wanted to share a document with them you would have to upload the document onto a webpage and then direct them to the document with a hyperlink. With Box.net you can upload the document(s) to a folder and allow folder access to your group members.
3. The ability to edit your files is a great feature of the application. Instead of having to make changes to the original file and then re-uploading it, the tool allows you to edit and save the documents already online. This can be helpful if you receive any tips from readers, or additional questions, you can just edit the document on the net.
4. You can manage different folders for your uploaded files. One of those folders is a "profile" folder. This is a folder that you can upload files to and they will be featured on your profile page.
5. You can create folders for a project that multiple people are working on. For example: If you are doing research on the ways in which large companies with many lines of business run their earnings meetings. You and 4 other collegues of yours are researching different companies. You can create a folder labeled - "Earnings Research" and allow your 4 other collegues working on the matter access to the folder. Now all 5 people are able to upload, edit, and share documents within the same folder.
