Stream

You use the Stream function to ensure that all recipients will always have the latest version of your file available. For example, you can share an entire folder of documents related to a project to ensure that each person working on that project has access to the latest information.

Using this function is as simple as it is practical. Set up which folder you want to ’stream’ and each time you edit, add or remove a document in the folder it is updated and your recipient(s) will have access to the latest version.

When the sender updates a file and adds it to the Stream-folder on his/her computer, the file will be uploaded to the server. The recipient will then receive this file and the original file is being given new name.

Individual: Your mother-in-law is always nagging you for the latest pictures of her grandchildren. You set up a Stream and Mamut Teamwork will automatically create a new folder for this. Every time you import pictures from your digital camera, you copy the pictures of your children to the Stream folder and they will then be automatically uploaded to the server. All your mother-in-law has to do now is to check her copy of the folder to appreciate all the new pictures coming in all the time.

Individual: As the project leader of your local athletics club, it is your responsibility to arrange the next county championships. There are many people helping out and you have a lot to keep track of. To make sure that everyone involved has access to the most up-to-date information, you set up a Stream task. Every time you edit or add a file, these changes will be updated with all members of your project group.

Business: You work together with a number of retailers who actively use your up-to-date price and product information as well as other marketing material, e.g. direct marketing documents and adverts. To ensure that all retailers receive the most up-to-date material all the time, you set up a Stream folder, which all retailers receive a copy of. Since it is set up in Stream mode, all files you update or add will be automatically copied to the retailers' computers and you will avoid the problem of some retailers still using old marketing material.
