Featured by Dropbox for Business blog: Research smarter with Dropbox-connected apps
It’s not everyday that our platform partners feature us in a blog post. But last week Dropbox featured Collected in a post on their Dropbox for Business blog that we want to share with you.

While this in not an original #CollectedHack, it definitely falls under that category. Our partners at Dropbox share how you can leverage Feedly, Dropbox, and Collected to automate the collection of research and integrate suggestions of that research directly into Word, right when you need it.
Below is the post from the Dropbox for Business blog. (Special thanks to Josh Sandberg and Alex Feldman for coordinating with our team and authoring the post.)
There’s a whole lot of information out there. That means a whole lot of finding, collecting, and digging through data to get what you need. So when you have research to do, these apps can help. They connect with Dropbox to make all that information more discoverable, more useful, and most of all, more manageable.
Feedly (iOS, Android, Web)
If you find yourself checking the same blogs and news sites every day, Feedly can make your life a little easier. Add the addresses of your favorite sites — like this one — and you’ll get new articles delivered to one place, all day long. You can even set Feedly to automatically add PDF versions of saved and tagged articles to your Dropbox.
Microsoft Word (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android*)
Sometimes the best research documents are the notes you take. And what better place to take those notes than Microsoft Word? Connect Dropbox to the mobile editions of Word to access, edit, and share your research anywhere. On Windows and Mac, the new Dropbox badge lets you stay up to date without leaving the app. Want to get even more out of Dropbox and Word? Read on for another tip.
Collected (Windows, Mac, Web)
Collected solves a common problem: how to sift through a huge pile of research documents. Connect your Dropbox, pick folders for Collected to scan, and you’ll have your own personal assistant. As you type in Microsoft Office, Collected will display related content from your Dropbox, perfect for grabbing a snippet or a quote from a long-lost doc.
Getting a handle on information can be a lot of work. But with these Dropbox-connected apps helping out, you can make research a breeze.For more apps that integrate with Dropbox for Business, check out our apps page!

Your Content Management Software is Not the Problem. It's your Process.

Recently, I had meetings with one of our enterprise accounts about how the organization manages its past projects and archives. They have been using Collected for almost a year to increase content reuse and discovery, especially when writing project proposals and RFP responses.
Although Collected has been very effective and the feedback has been outstanding, like other enterprise software, it is not a silver bullet and can't solve every problem. The team still struggles with managing content library files and archiving outdated content.
The outcome of our recent meeting uncovered three pitfalls of content management processes that I believe most organizations suffer.
Pitfall #1: The file archive is also the content library
Your business may need to archive the documents from every proposal and every opportunity that it pursues for record keeping. However, not all those opportunities are good reference points for you and your team in the future.
If a content library is not the same as a file archive, then what is it? It's a carefully curated knowledge center for the absolute best material your organization has created in the past. It's a perfect example of addition by subtraction. By removing drafts, lost opportunities, and outdated materials, your team can find and easily reference and reuse only the highest value material.
To get a content library started, begin by having a conversation with your team about what type of materials you all values most. Then begin to build content library subfolders where you can add your curated content.
Pitfall #2: An evolving business without an evolving file/folder structure
At small organizations, I find folder structures that are designed long before the company had grown to its current size. The folder navigation is confusing and convoluted. The real issue is usually that the underlying framework of the folder hierarchy has not been reconsidered as the company grew. The end result is a difficult and intimidating hierarchy to navigate, especially for newer employees.
Tackling this pitfall takes time, but even simple steps can help, like organizing content by year or by product line. Start by asking teammates where the most confusing areas of your files archives exist to understand your biggest opportunities for improvement.
Pitfall #3: Everyone is responsible, so no one is accountable.
Most organizations have attempted to address the common pain points of Pitfalls #1 and #2. However, the action plans to address those tend to fall on one person to design a process that everyone will be responsible for following. The end result leans toward the tragedy of the commons and these processes are followed only briefly before falling back to business-as-usual.
Identify a single individual responsible who can execute the maintenance of a content library and folder hierarchy. Maybe that's you! Also, get your manager involved. With buy-in from team leadership and a single source of responsibility, the content library maintenance responsibilities are more likely to stay on track.
Addressing these pitfalls can effectively accelerate productivity and allow your team to leverage the organization's existing knowledge more easily. The common thread among these pitfalls can be boiled down to a key takeaway:
Effective enterprise content management can be achieved through better process, not necessarily new software.
The underlying process is critical to leveraging your software tools. Without it, teams often undermine the capabilities of their software.
If you’ve ever felt you waste too much timing trying to find something you know you’ve already written, then try Collected today. It makes you more productive and creative by delivering the most related content from your cloud accounts, right where and when you need it.
Collected works wherever you are - like Word, Powerpoint, Google Docs, and anywhere on the web with our Chrome Extension, like Salesforce or Zendesk.
Latest Press: NEXTPittsburgh "Collected brings up related content in your files as you create new docs"
This week Laurie Bailey at NEXTPittsburgh featured Collected in their Business & Tech News. Check out the article below.
If you’ve ever sat at your computer, writing about something you have written about before—and wondering where that document is in your computer—Collected could be the software for you.
Collected, a new productivity tool, delivers content to an unobtrusive sidebar or window on the computer screen while the user is typing content in documents such as contracts, proposals or memos. So when you type in, say, “year-end summary for X corporation,” that content you previously wrote about will appear as a snippet on your screen. And you can then access the document to easily retrieve it.
“It allows users to uncover and reuse existing work by providing related content from the user’s cloud accounts as they type,” says company founder and developer Steve Cotter.
