A Private contributor tool

• Connect functions as a private editor & contributor tool for contributors of open organisations. It allows teams to manage internal documents with full control over the data ownership. Connect is available as stand-alone desktop application or in the cloud.

• Connect offers a navigation menu for adding, synchronising and browsing document drives that are shared within an organisation or are private to the contributor.

• Connect allows contributors to edit and work on different 'document model types' selected or defined by the organisation.

Think of Document Models as smart templates. Document Models are tools designed to assist and empower people working within DAOs. Functioning as a guide that helps you structure your work, ensuring all necessary steps are followed and information is captured correctly. For a more extensive deepdive into document models we refer to our FAQ

Connecting with your first drive instances

Adding a Public Drive

Get access to an organisations drive instances by adding this drive to your Connect Drive navigation tree. To add a new drive you'll have to get the correct URL for the drive. Both public drives and secure cloud drives will be offered as centralised and decentralised solutions in the future.

Adding a Secure Cloud Drive

A secure cloud drive is a drive storage instance that allows smaller teams or 'internal' teams of an open organisation or DAO to maintain control over sharing & editing rights. A secure cloud drive is not directly available and transparent for anyone with the link as it offers access gating.

Create a new Local Drive

Create a new local drive that is hosted on your local device and not shared with anyone else. This allows a user to work in private and push updates that are ready for publication to a Secure Cloud Drive of a Public Drive.

Each drive can be made 'Available offline' if you want to store a local copy of it and contribute to the decentralisation of an open organisations documents.

Additional documentation will be added soon.
