Bigin - WorkDrive Integration

Bigin - WorkDrive Integration

Businesses require you to exchange files with clients for various purposes. Confidentiality of the clients' documents is the utmost priority for any business. The File Cabinet topping in Bigin, powered by WorkDrive, helps you to send and receive files from your clients securely.

With the WorkDrive-Bigin integration, you can create a new folder for each client,  receive a notification every time a file is uploaded to the folder, and secure your files with an OTP authentication to ensure it reaches only the desired recipient.
