Toby for Teams - Better bookmarks, now with collaboration baked in 🔖

by•

Trying to find the document that your team shared with you a month ago? Can't remember if it's in gmail, Dropbox, Google Drive, or elsewhere? Creating a collection of tabs and sharing it with your team will ensure that every team member has access to the same resource on every new tab page.

Great update. Might replace PH on my new tab and that's a big thing! ;) A few things I have noted while testing: - the invite banner is annoying and spammy - I will use the team feature just for myself because it gives me the ability to create sub-spaces per topic. will you allow sub-spaces in the main "my collections" ? Way more practical than using tags. - will you give the possibility to save a session directly in a collection? - drag and drop from the right column to a collection is not 100% reliable

@raphchabaud you can also use Toby mini. Exactly like Toby, but not on the new tab. Saving sessions in a collection is possible. Turn on "advanced features", then use "Add to collection".

@arthur_camara I switched today from Toby mini (that I barely used) to the full Toby. Let's see if I stick to it !

@raphchabaud That's awesome. I think the full Toby gives a much better experience and results, because you're constantly reminded of keeping your work organized.

@raphchabaud +1 for " I will use the team feature just for myself because it gives me the ability to create sub-spaces per topic. will you allow sub-spaces in the main "my collections" ? Way more practical than using tags." 💡👌

Hi PH :) It's been a long time coming - we are extremely excited about releasing Toby for Teams. We're the first tab manager that teams can use to collaborate. We've had the chance to beta test this feature with 20 other companies including IBM, Twitter, New Relic Bazaarvoice, and more. The team's experience allows you to share knowledge or assets that are commonly used by everyone on the team. That could be brand guidelines, sales enablement docs, or even npm library packages. The power comes when all of your team is on Toby. Every new tab will allow them to access resources immediately rather than using search on 5 different products. To create an organization just click the "+" right beside "My Collections". To share a collection you can select a personal collection and hit share, you'll be prompted by selecting a team or a team member. BLOG: https://www.gettoby.com/blog/pos...

@bennygiang @arthur_camara Toby, please help me with my tabs! I use OneTab but it's hard to manage a 5k saved tabs... It's like an addiction
Pascal Claisse
Great tool and i love it so far, but is there an option to disable the "new tab" feature?
Thiago de Carvalho
@arthur_camara Same here. I have Product Hunt on my 'new tab' and Toby overrides that. How do we disable it?
Thiago de Carvalho
@arthur_camara Also, you should make your 'welcome email' responsive. I've opened it on my mobile and that's how I see it:
Raphaël Chabaud
@pnkxx You can use Toby mini for that : https://chrome.google.com/websto...

@pnkxx @thiagoafram Yes, you can use Toby mini, which is exactly like Toby but not on the new tab. I'll check that email responsiveness, thanks for that.
Thiago de Carvalho
Hi @arthur_camara. I was using Toby mini as per your recommendation and it was working fine. But since this morning, it also replaced my Product Hunt extension on the 'new tab'. I can confirm I'm using Toby mini and not Toby. Although it was fine yesterday, it changed today. What happened?

Arthur Camara

Thanks Christine. So happy Toby is helping you stay organized! Keep up with the good work.
Scott Johnson

The Toby folk seem close at hand, eager to understand the issue and fix it or show me how to do what I'm missing.

Pros:

Works as advertised. I use it to collect bookmarks related to projects and to personal interests.

Cons:

A bit of a learning curve.

Arthur Camara
Maker
That's awesome to hear Scott. We are constantly trying to improve the onboarding experience and will keep this in mind for sure. Thank you! 🎉

Toby is just about a dream app for me so it is quite exciting knowing if I ever try to enter the startup world, I can keep using this :)
Benny Giang

@cucumbur glad you love using Toby :) let us know when you launch your startup!
Douglas Evaristo
I love Toby, but where is the iOS app and cloud sync?? O.o
Arthur Camara
Maker
@douglasevaristo cloud sync is done. Just create an account and use it in multiple computers. iOS app... Well... We have a prototype but still not finished. We're a very small team so things end up taking longer, sorry about that.
Alex Bass
@arthur_camara Any plans for an Android app in the future? I'm now realizing that I'm using Toby in-place/more than bookmarks so not having it on mobile is now driving me nuts :P Keep up the awesome work! (:
Eric Gossick

Great app!

Pros:

Super easy for me to share links with my team of technical support engineers, it is great you can rename the links and search for them

Cons:

?...are there? Can't see any!

Thanks for the review Eric! If you think of any cons or feedback, find us on twitter @TobyForTabs. 🙌

Toby is a great tool and definitely a need, for years I have used tons of apps like this but none of them was useful as toby. This new feature is really dope, congrats guys!
Baptiste
This is definitely what I was looking for ! Kudos guys! :)

@baptistedebever Great to hear. Thanks Baptiste

This is by far one of the best bookmarks organizing tool ever. Even if you *remove* bookmarks it still is the best organizing tool. Love it. <3

@rafyasarmatta I'm glad Toby helps you stay organized and focused! Have you tried sharing tabs with your team? Cheers!

@rafyasarmatta Awesome, lmk how it goes

Great app, I wish it had a standalone/mobile version, but I'm sure it'll come to that. Keep up the great work!

Pros:

Easy, convenient, beautiful

Cons:

None yet

Arthur Camara
Maker
Wow, thanks ncux! ❤️
Cassidy Robertson

Big fan of the collections and being able to sort my tabs by topic.

Pros:

No frills required! I can share links and context with my team without any extra work or tools.

Cons:

Notifications aren't very helpful, would be nice if they drew attention to the new tab.

Alex Bass

Loving Toby. They are my go-to new tab page and now even bookmark manager. I can see the usefulness for project management with teams too. Even pushed it out to a couple clients and they too love it. One of my all-time favorite chrome extensions bar-none.

Pros:

Helps with my tab addiction and improves upon what feels like a now antiquated "browser bookmarks"

Cons:

Make it easier to rearrage collections possibly by alphabetical/most used/manual. With manual, allow dragging down to the bottom easier.

Nitesh Manav
Hey, it's awesome. How can we import current bookmarks into Toby? Is there any way for it? Thank you.

Still using it everyday!

Toby has become one of the "select" and "essential" extensions on in my browser and that's saying a lot for me. Apart from Lastpass, and Raindrop.io, I don't consider nor use many other extensions in my browser but Toby has become a must and most will agree after using it. Keep up the great work guys, I'm really looking forward to your mobile app, that will be the icing on the Toby cake.
Arthur Camara

@arthurgd3 Wow, what an honor, Arthur. Thanks for your comment. Let me know how you use the new sharing features. 👯
Fabiano PS

The team behind it is super friendly and pro-active in making Toby better!

Pros:

It's really helpful way to share links with co-workers, we do it often to share resources for each step of the project and is super helpful

Cons:

There is room to improve when it comes to search
