Abstract:
File cloud provides file storages on the Internet and manages them for people to access and manipulate their contents like documents, pictures, and movies anywhere and anytime. There are various smart devices such as tablets, smart phones, and smart pads, which can utilize file cloud services. In this paper, we introduce a social file cloud system as one of tools for collaboration between people in the workplace. We extend basic file cloud service by adding social factors such as tags, score, and comments to a file into a social file cloud service, that is, “cocoBox”, which means a file box for communication and collaboration. CocoBox provides the basic functionalities of file cloud service such as file upload and file download. In addition, we focus on social factors of files to help collaboration among people who share same files. Whoever shares a specific file with others can add tags, give score, and add/remove his/her opinion on that file. Therefore, cocoBox enhances communication and collaboration among people with these social factors.
