The IBM Connections Desktop Plug-ins Microsoft Windows is intended for Microsoft Windows users, adding social networking features and functionality from IBM Connections services, including Activities, Communities, Files, and Profiles.

The IBM Connections Desktop Plug-ins for Microsoft Windows provides the following features from Windows Explorer:

• Upload files for personal use or to share with others
• Upload files to a community or attach them to an Activity
• Share existing Connections files with other users or with a community
• Drag and drop files from your desktop to Connections Files or to a community
• View and manage versions of your files
• Add comments to files or recommend files
• Edit and publish local drafts to Connections
• Pin or follow folders and files for easier tracking
• View business cards for people and invite them to your network
• Easily access all Connections features via browser links

The IBM Connections Desktop Plug-ins Microsoft Windows supports:

• IBM Connections 3.0.1.1
• Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit, 64-bit)

I’ve been looking forward to this plug-in for a very long time, so I’m excited we have it for deployment today.  I know a number of customers that have been holding back on full-scale deployment of Connections until they have native access to Connections Files, so this will make a significant difference.  Hopefully the Mac version won’t be too far behind
