Files and archive

The board’s files in one place

Materials in email threads, minutes on someone’s hard drive and no one sure which version is current. With secure file sharing in Hippoly, the board’s documents are stored together and encrypted. The version you see is always the current one and everything can be found even a year later.

A folder structure the board recognises

Build the structure from scratch or drag in an existing folder from your old storage. Files are then linked to agendas or shared as posts, with no new copies.

The folders belong to the workspace, not to anyone’s private Google or Dropbox account. When a member leaves, nothing disappears and the person stepping in has access to everything from day one.

Version history

Version history on every file

Every file is versioned automatically. Upload a new version and it stacks on top of the original. Earlier versions can be opened, downloaded or restored.

No one has to wonder whether the right material is in the folder. The latest version is always the one shown, the history is one click away.

Read and download log

Know who has seen what

The log shows when a document was opened or downloaded and by whom. Before the meeting you can see whether the materials have actually been read. Afterwards you can show who has accessed a document.

Store and share

Upload to the right place, use it where it’s needed

Monthly reports, agreements and policies live long and are used in many places. In Hippoly you link the files in where they are needed, for example as material on an agenda item. When you want to bring something new or updated to the board’s attention, you share the file as a post with a message of your own.

Share as post
Write a message… The September report is up! 🚀 Please read before Thursday’s meeting.

Files in direct messages

When files need a smaller circle

Sometimes the nature of the matter calls for a smaller circle: a personnel matter, the CEO’s terms or the working material in a negotiation before it goes to the whole board. The files are then shared in a direct message and only the people in the conversation can access them.

Documents written directly in Hippoly

Decision material, reports and policies don’t have to be written somewhere else and uploaded, you can write them directly in Hippoly. Just like uploaded files, the documents can be signed, linked to agendas or shared as posts.
