Collaboratory 1 has been deprecated and will be shutdown by Sep 2021; we will be supporting content providers in migrating their content to Collaboratory 2 until then. In the mean time, a lot of precious content can be found in Collaboratory 1.

48 -The drive of a collab stores files for its users. The drive is perfect for files and documents that need to be worked on collaboratively, such as Office documents or Notebooks, but is not meant to be used for larger files and datasets.
48 +The drive of a collab stores files for its users. All files are version controlled and can be shared via smart links with the Team members or public (read-only) links with anybody (see the __FAQ__). See the history of a specific file from its triangle icon menu: date and modifier (username) for each version.
