Share documents with your entire team right from your desktop! By using Planio's [Git repositories](https://plan.io/subversion-hosting-and-git-hosting/) and [SparkleShare](https://plan.io/sparkleshare/), you can finally replace file sharing solutions such as Dropbox™ or Box™ and benefit from full integration and super [secure hosting made in Germany](https://plan.io/privacy/).
