# Basic concept of product

## What can the Babel bird do?

BabelBird mainly solves three types of problems: unified management of enterprise files, collaboration and data security. Users can synchronize work files to the cloud and access personal files, department files, and project files through browsers, clients, mobile terminals, or internal enterprise portals; they can also edit Office documents online, use local clients to edit files in any format, and avoid accidental overwriting through version management.

## Supported devices

BabelBird supports browser access, and it is recommended to use a modern browser that complies with HTML5 specifications; it also provides Windows, macOS, and Kirin clients, as well as iOS and Android mobile terminals. Privatized deployment can be accessed through enterprise-specific domain names, and integration portals such as Enterprise WeChat, DingTalk, and Feishu need to be configured according to modules.

## File space

| Space | Ownership | Typical uses |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Personal files | Personal users | Profiles, drafts, personal projects |
| Corporate documents | Enterprises and departments | Long-term sharing, department information, corporate public resources |
| Department folders | Departments | Long-term collaboration within departments, department authority control |

| Archives | Archives Administrator | Archiving, borrowing, long-term preservation, compliance management |

## Departments and projects

Departments are the basic unit of enterprise organizational structure and long-term file space. Projects are used for temporary or cross-department collaboration. You can invite internal members, external members or unregistered users to join, and support project validity period, project leader, project assistant, member permissions and project discussion groups.

## Typical entry-level operations

1. Log in to the address assigned by the enterprise or the official public cloud portal.
2. Go to Personal Files, Business Files, Department Files, or My Projects.
3. Upload files through drag and drop, new button, right-click on the client, synchronized folder, mapped disk or mobile terminal.
4. Use the file right-click menu to perform operations such as sharing, editing, versioning, permissions, comments, and archiving.
5. Administrators maintain organizational structure, members, roles, permissions, watermarks, logs, and system configurations from the enterprise console.
