Telephone operation, which is very common in other countries, is still unknown in Spain. From Applesfera we compiled a list of the best apps and services you can work with at home as we have produced or produced better than if we were in office.
Communication and meetings
The first point to consider when working remotely is to communicate. From timely communication, questioning or commenting on strategic meetings (with Keynote presentation), all is possible online.
iMessage / FaceTime
Thanks to iMessage, Apple's Apple protocol, we can communicate, either in person or in a group. In addition to text, we can send audio notes, pictures and any file. With FaceTime we can make calls, whether audio or video separately or in groups of up to 32 people.
The main benefits of iMessage and FaceTime are twofold: that they are available by default on all Apple devices and that, thanks to the end encryption, any communications will be as secure as if we kept them behind closed doors in the meeting room.
Slack
Slack is an alternative to Apple's social media platforms. It has group discussions, moreover, that we can use @mentions talking to a specific person among the participants. And we can send files and photos, and make calls, both with a group.
Slack's main advantages are communication, which allows us, within the flow of critical communication, to receive only those notices are directed to us. New, it should be remembered, is that Apple may install iMessage soon.
File sharing
The second thing to remember when talking about working from home is the ability to send and receive files. For the tools we saw in the previous section we can export a specific file, however, high volume or large files, we should go to specific apps.
Files are shared on iCloud
Thanks to iCloud we can share individual files, regardless of size, anyone. Although the program works well on Apple platforms, we can export files without the operating system or device used by our finder.
The major advantage is that no file size limit is allocated and that they will too encrypted.
Dropbox
By now we might all know Dropbox, a cloud file sync company. Thanks to its app we can share files with anyone, share folders and back up our documents. Free app offers up to 2GB of storage with its Plus plan, this one 9.99 euros a month, giving us 2000 bucks.
It also provides us request files, a function where we can send a link to anyone (with or without an account) to send the files we need without a size limit.
The benefit of Dropbox, in particular, is that the solution of the cross.
Combine activities
Finally, the third point where we talk about working remotely is planning and performing tasks. It is necessary to deliver work record pending, completed and assigned to affiliated parties.
Reminders
Reminders, the app we get across the iPhone, iPad or Mac is great for this job. It will allow us, in a different order, edit all pending tasks, enter delivery date, schedule notifications, subtitles, add notes, add attachments, etc.
Benefits of Reminders, in addition to the number of options it offers, it is easy and easy to use. Without needing to learn any new programming, we have an app that will allow us to customize it.
No
Asana is a project management service. It offers an iPhone or iPad app and a Mac website. Inside an app we can manage, as in the end Reminders, different activities, subtitles they share in trusted groups. The service also allows integration into third-party services, for example, tracking hours spent.
Asana's greatest advantage is being able to delegate tasks to someone. Something in the reminders app we have to do with a lot of creative solutions like using @ say in a work note or title.
With this type of application, the benefits of working from home will probably be more relevant. We would enjoy working from home as if we were at the office.
