We are happy to announce that we have just added 3 new integrations to Refinder. Now you can also connect your Basecamp classic, Box or SkyDrive account. This works for Refinder Cloud Search or for Refinder for Teams.

Refinder no longer supports Microsoft Outlook and Windows Explorer

Chris Brand Chris Brand on Wed, 11/14/2012 - 11:18

Windows Explorer and Microsoft Outlook used to be the daily hotspot for most knowledge workers. With collaboration and file storage moving to the cloud, new tools are replacing and outpowering Outlook and Explorer. That is why we are switching off these classical integrations for Refinder to integrate new cloud apps for you.

Just about 5 years ago the office looked different. You would manage your contacts, share a calendar entry and send out e-mails via Outlook. You used to search, copy or save your files on the local PC and find them in Windows Explorer.

Once upon a time search engines were online portals that provided all the information you needed. Then Google emerged and changed the web forever. With the advent of apps however, the old portal concept of Yahoo might come back.

While there were many websites on the Internet, Yahoo became your one-stop-shop for all the information you needed. Weather, recipes, your e-mails, headlines, all was on Yahoo which integrated specialized services into the site.
