·· Shared file management with in-browser editing

Shelves

Drives turn into archaeology projects after eighteen months. Shelves is the file layer that stays legible, personal and room-based storage, role-aware permissions, previews, and real document editing in the browser.

Shelves, the file management surface, with personal and room shelves, previews, and Collabora in-browser editing.

02 The problem we solved

“Every research group, faculty, and department has a drive folder no one dares to delete and no one can navigate. Shelves replaces it with a file system designed for institutional sharing, and adds live editing of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint through Collabora so people stop emailing _final_v3.docx attachments.”

03 Who it's for

Built for the people who actually open the tab.

01

Research groups

A shared drive that does not require an explanatory call.

02

Departments

Role-aware access by default, audit trail on every file.

03

PhD students

A workspace that survives supervisor turnover.

04

Faculty offices

A drop-in replacement for the SharePoint nobody uses.

06 FAQ

Things procurement asks first.

  1. Q.01 Where is data stored?

    UK and EU residency options; encrypted at rest and in transit.

  2. Q.02 Is in-browser editing real?

    Yes, it is full Collabora editing, the same engine institutional Office365 deployments use under the hood.

  3. Q.03 Does AI training use our files?

    No. Customer content is never used to train shared models.
