Direct answer
A ProBox is a licensed shared workspace in which authorized participants can work with permitted project content and chat under their participant names. One participant leaving must not disconnect everyone else. Supplied animations synchronize by ID, speed and loop state so each compatible installation plays its local copy; private user videos remain local and are not streamed to guests.
Who this guide is for: For ProBox hosts and licensed participants who need predictable multi-user behavior and clear media boundaries.
Participant identity and session continuity
Each participant joins with an identifiable name. Chat messages, file actions and connection events should remain attributable in the session history. When one guest leaves, the host and remaining participants continue until the host ends the session or their own connections close.
Shared files and recoverable changes
Participants work with the shared workspace rather than a broadcast view of the host's desktop. The workflow is designed to record relevant actions and preserve recoverable originals of changed shared files where supported.
Simultaneous editing inside external applications can still create conflicting versions. The workspace history improves traceability but does not turn every third-party file format into a real-time co-authoring format.
Supplied animations and private media
For one of the supplied animations, only its stable identifier, playback speed and loop state need to cross the session. Every compatible licensed participant plays the same bundled asset locally.
A user-uploaded image or video is private media. It is not automatically branded, streamed or synchronized. Guests receive the supported static fallback and the host receives a clear notice.
Important limitations
- Participants need compatible application versions and matching supplied media libraries.
- Private user videos are not synchronized.
- Session history and recovery do not replace formal records management or backups.
Frequently asked questions
What is Remote ProBox™?
Remote ProBox™ is the licensed remote collaboration capability for a shared visual workspace. It brings project files, context and communication together without broadcasting the user's entire desktop.
Is Remote ProBox™ the same as screen sharing?
No. Screen sharing broadcasts a view of another computer. Remote ProBox™ is designed around a shared visual workspace and its permitted project content.
Can multiple participants work in the same ProBox?
Authorized participants can work in the same active ProBox session. Participant names, file actions, chat and connection events should remain attributable in the session history.
What happens when one participant leaves?
The departing participant disconnects while the host and remaining participants continue. The host must not mark the entire ProBox as disconnected merely because one guest left, and the departure should be visible to the remaining session.
Does the group chat work for every participant?
The active ProBox chat is intended for all authorized participants, with messages identified by participant name. Delivery depends on the active session and connection state.
Do participants see supplied animated backgrounds?
For supplied animations, the ProBox synchronizes the animation ID, speed and loop state. Each compatible licensed installation plays its matching local asset, so the large video file does not need to be retransmitted.
Are privately uploaded videos synchronized to ProBox guests?
No. A private user video remains local to its owner. Guests receive a clear static fallback, and the host is informed that personal videos are not streamed or synchronized.
Are original versions preserved when shared files are changed?
The collaboration workflow is designed to preserve recoverable originals of changed shared files and record relevant actions. This safety mechanism does not replace an independent backup strategy.
When is a conventional shared folder the better choice?
A shared folder may be sufficient when a team only needs common file access. Remote ProBox™ is more appropriate when files need visual project context, workspace structure and live collaboration.
