The Daily App: Agora Briefcase

For organizations in which dropbox-style file sharing doesn't provide enough control, today's daily app might have an answer. Agora Briefcase by Mighty Mack combines an Android and iOS app with a cloud-based service that allows companies to push files out to devices or to share file content without releasing the documents and risking unauthorized distribution or deletion of the originals.

Agora Briefcase allows the creation of virtual briefcases that contain files to be shared with individuals or groups; keeping all participants in sync. The Agora Briefcase app links the device with a company's back-end system, making files available with just a click or two. Numerous file formats are supported, including pdf, multimedia pdf, m4v and mov. Files can be set for downloading or viewing-only, and can be set for off-line access.

What's more, people carrying an Agora Briefcase also have the ability to allow other users to place files on their tablet in an easy and secure way, go in and to remove them at any time or invite others to view what's on their tablet. For example, files might be shared among boardroom executives for viewing and navigation during a meeting and unshared when the meeting is over. A full-featured trial version is free and includes 100MB of file sharing space.
