In order to work together with different organizations you can create Shared spaces, where you can decide the organizations who would have the access to it. You can group different Spaces and add Notes for better understanding.

Inside a Space you can create different file cards, where you can attach your files, tag assignees, file type, provide information about the attached file which involves the type of software used and version used. You can also view your attached files and measure the details inside it.

You can add an attachment and view the attached file in an enlarged way.

For instance, this Revit file was uploaded in a file card and converted to viewable format, where you can rotate the structure, pan the view, have sectional views by taking a sectional plane of your choice, and a lot more!

The explorer feature is more like a 1D representation of all your files which means the files that you upload on 2D Canvas are displayed here in a list format. You can manage these file cards, sort them, filter them and edit them. The changes that you do in Explorer will similarly be made in Canvas.
