- Public channels, private channels and DMs
- Mention any file or folder directly in a thread
- Encrypted message store
- Native desktop and mobile apps
Team channels and direct messages alongside your files, no second app, no second DPA.
WhatsApp and Slack mix work with personal data and split your context
- Files, decisions and links scatter across chat apps.
- Sensitive information ends up on personal phones.
- A week later, nobody can find both the decision and the file.
- Conversations next to the files they're about.
- The same workspace, permissions and EU data residency.
- Context stays intact for new and existing staff.
How vBoxxCloud chat works
Public channels for company-wide topics, private channels for confidential work. Membership follows your existing workspace groups.
Paste any vBoxxCloud file or folder link, permissions are respected automatically. Recipients see a preview without leaving chat.
One search bar covers messages, files, attachments and channel history. Results are scoped to what you have permission to see.
Where in-context chat helps
A channel per project, files and decisions visible to everyone who joins later, including new hires.
Direct messages and channels alongside shared folders, with the same permissions everywhere.
Internal channels for triage, with file previews so support agents can see the attachment without a separate tool.
