If your file sharing infrastructure is limited to what Slack provides, then your file sharing infrastructure sucks. Slack is good for quick "check this outs", but it's not a file sharing system.
- kbenson 11y agoWell, you add the google docs integration, or the dropbox integration, or the box integration, or use the Zapier integration to tie things together. Slack isn't a file sharing platform, it's a communication platform. As such, they try to make communicating about, discovery and grouping of files in dedicated file sharing platforms easier.
- mikeokner 11y agoThat's a terrible solution for anyone handling data that has to remain on-prem, which is the case for a lot of large corporations that deal with financial data, personal id data, etc.
- kbenson 11y agoOf course it's a bad solution in that case. You've picked a case where a specific business requirement precludes using an external service. In which case, why would you use slack anyway, since it would then necessitate a chunk of your communication be external as well?
