We’re excited to announce a powerful new update to Central Desktop that takes your document collaboration to the next level!

We didn’t stop at uploading. With Cloud Assist, you can now open and edit Microsoft Office files — including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — right on your desktop, while staying connected to Central Desktop. No need to download locally, email attachments, or worry about version control.

Once you’re done editing, your changes are automatically saved back to the workspace — keeping your team aligned and your files up to date.

  • Connect your Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive account to Central Desktop

  • Upload files directly from your cloud storage into workspaces

  • Open Microsoft files stored in Central Desktop using native Office apps

  • Edit and save changes with Cloud Assist, from your desktop to your workspace

Why This Matters

We know teams are juggling multiple tools every day. This update is about reducing friction, increasing productivity, and making collaboration more intuitive. Whether you’re a project manager syncing timelines, a marketer reviewing creative, or a client-facing team prepping deliverables — your files should work where you do.

This is just one more step in making Central Desktop your hub for organized, collaborative, and secure project management.
