File sharing, meet channels

In ww5, files and conversations flow in organised, searchable spaces called channels. Channels make it easier to share files and the context around them with the right people – and find those files later on.

Integrated file sharing

From drag-and-drop to quickly adding documents from services such as Google Drive, sharing files is as much a part of ww5 as typing and sending messages.
