While the working world is rapidly adopting cloud-based services, such as Google Drive, iCloud and Dropbox, some are arguing these developments have already become outdated. The inventors of Qube—a new start-up company—stated they can get rid of the endless searching we all do in an effort to find and share the right documents with each other.
Hardy Schuerhoff, CEO, Qube asked, “Do you believe that in five years’ time we’ll still need to store documents ourselves or that we’ll still need to find and send files? Well, we don’t!”
In Schuerhoffs view everybody should always work with the same updated information Different Cloud storage systems and even email will not be necessary anymore. No more messy self-made directory structures—everyone will be in control of his own information and easily gains access to the information of others. This should all be possible with one login.
Qube creates your own personal (or business) environment, and you can simply give others access to (parts of) that environment. Qube comes with a predesigned structure for households or businesses. Through your own Qube you will gain access to (parts of) Qubes of others. The part of your Qube that others have access to is always up to date. Naturally the same goes for other Qubes that you have access to.
While the software is still in development, the prospect of not having to argue over who put what where could save HR a lot of time and trouble.
