Globexest. 1997

Everything it does, and nothing it doesn't.

Globex 3.2 does one job: it keeps a copy of your work on every machine you sit down at. Here is the whole of it, written out plainly.

Sync, quietly

Changes travel in the background over an encrypted channel. No spinning beach balls, no dialogs to dismiss.

A month of undo

Every version of every file is kept for thirty days. Roll back a document, or an entire folder, in one click.

Shared, not scattered

Hand a folder to a colleague and it appears on their desktop. Take it back just as easily.

Selective sync

Keep the archive on the desktop and only this quarter on the laptop. Tick the folders you want on each machine.

In your pocket

The Globex app for iPhone and Android reads every file you own, and marks a few as favourites for the aeroplane.

A folder, not an app

Globex lives in the Finder and in Explorer. There is no window to open, and nothing new to learn.

What it runs on

One account, every machine in the house. The desktop client is the same on all three platforms, down to the icon in the menu bar.

“We put the whole studio on Globex in an afternoon. The best part is that nobody has mentioned it since. That is the highest praise I can give a piece of software.”
