"Did I already share this file...?"
"Manually notifying each time is honestly a hassle..."

Have you ever felt this way when sharing files with your team members?
Especially when there are many team members, it becomes difficult to know if everyone is aware of the new file information, leading to information sharing gaps and increased verification efforts.
