"You should be able to sync changes without worrying about permissions or storage locations."
seems to conflict a little with
"We know how important privacy is, ...so no one except you and your team can ever access your files, not even us."
It seems to me that they've replaced the step of 'save it in the right location' (skydrive, sharepoint, dropbox) with 'open it with the right program'. I don't see that as a benefit at all. You even lose the normal workflow of just opening a file by double clicking it.
- zefi 13y agoSorry, we're probably not clear. You can still open your documents just by double clicking on them. If you and I were working on a deck and I stored the flie on dropbox and you on your desktop - we could both double click on the pptx files and they would open. Let me know if I've misunderstood you.
- jacalata 13y agoSo why the convoluted method of opening in the video then, and the emphasis that I should open it as a kivo file? If I just open it in powerpoint and save changes am I still getting the versioning and updates shared to my friend? If we have it stored in two different places, how do the changes get to his file on his dropbox where I don't have access?
- zefi 13y agoSo when he makes a change to the file, that edit is synced to a git repo that you have access to, your desktop document (via kivo) is polling that repo for changes and when it sees one pulls it down and displays it within powerpoint
