Sincronización de calendario, contactos y tareas

Los calendarios incluyen programación libre/ocupado para coordinar sin revelar detalles. Contactos, tareas y notas se sincronizan vía ActiveSync para Android, iOS y BlackBerry, o CalDAV/CardDAV para mayor compatibilidad. Los clientes nativos KDE Kontact funcionan en Linux, Windows y macOS.

Almacenamiento y compartición de archivos

El almacenamiento seguro de archivos ofrece controles de acceso granulares y opciones de compartición. Adiciones recientes incluyen edición colaborativa vía Collabora Online para documentos y presentaciones, además de salas de videoconferencia para equipos.

HD video meetings up to 1,000 participants

Vendor features and contact pages state secure HD audio/video conferences for up to 1,000 participants with screen sharing, virtual backgrounds, collaborative whiteboard, breakout rooms, live polls/voting, and in-meeting electronic signature—aimed at executive and sensitive operational meetings rather than consumer calls.

Large-scale webinars with role and recording control

Webinar tooling includes organiser/presenter/participant roles, granular permissions (present, share, record, content access), interactive stage, moderated hand-raise, secure chat/reactions, and HD recording with encrypted storage and controlled access. Contact materials claim capacity up to 1 million participants for large virtual events.

E2EE messaging, files, and co-editing in one suite

Instant messaging covers 1:1 and group/channel chat with presence and mentions; secure file and media sharing (up to 20 GB per message via PiTransfer per marketing); cloud co-editing and a document library for sensitive document workflows. Security pages claim non-disableable E2EE, AES-256 for real-time calls, and RSA-2048 for file sharing.

Sovereign deployment: SaaS, on-prem, or air-gapped

Hosting options include fully managed cloud SaaS, on-premise/private servers behind the customer firewall, and use cases marketed for air-gapped or constrained networks. Privacy policy states encrypted message storage on servers hosted in France; GTS state EU hosting without transfer outside the EU for personal data in scope.

Admin suite, kill switch, and policy controls

Administration covers local/regional admin roles, user and group management, time-based access, contact and file-sharing authorisations, activity monitoring, minimum client version enforcement, MFA, geographic access limits, custom retention, and remote revoke/wipe language for compromised devices—built for security teams governing a closed network.

In-house AI tools for identity and translation

Marketed AI features include deepfake/identity verification using camera, microphone, and device signals; real-time meeting translation; Private Translate for sensitive text/documents without content leaving customer infrastructure; and an AI companion for transcription, decisions, and post-meeting summaries—positioned for closed environments rather than public LLM APIs.
