Pydio Cells Makes Safe Collaboration Easy

We’ve all been in a video call where team members need to share documents with partners, collaborators or even just folks in another department and instead of using your company’s secure document platform, they end up downloading and emailing a doc, creating a link on a file transfer platform like WeTranfer or Dropbox, or even creating a Google Doc to get around the complexities and restrictions of their in-house platform.

What the experts say

Intuitive design isn’t just preferred—it’s essential for success in digital products. According to digital adoption specialists Whatfix, 80% of product features often go underutilized because users struggle with complex interfaces, highlighting the importance of simplicity in feature design to ensure better engagement and adoption​.

Hot Take: If your secure document sharing and collaboration platform isn’t dead easy for end users, they’ll find other ways to share documents. Complexity = Low Uptake.

Key Takeaway: Your sharing and collaboration tool has to be as easy, capable and intuitive for end users as non-secure platforms.

Pydio Cells Is Simple and Easy for End Users Without Compromising on Security

Like any highly secure platform, Cells does take some effort at deployment for admin staff to set up all the security controls and make sure they reflect the way your organization wants to manage, share and collaborate on documents. 

But, once the initial configuration is done, Cells is as easy to use and capable (sometimes even more capable) than even the most widely used SaaS platforms.

 

How Can Pydio Help?

Cells was designed from the ground up with user experience in mind. And over its multiple versions, that preoccupation with making sure that new features don’t add new complexity has been front and center.

• With Cells, there is a near-zero learning curve for end-users. No need for specialized training or onboarding. Just log in and get to work
