Free tools you can use during Coronavirus quarantine

2 replies
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it's quite a hard time for humanity right now. There are a lot of crazy things happening and plenty of irresponsible people around. However, amidst all of this chaos, many positive things are showing through. People are singing in balconies during quarantines, various businesses, and people donating resources to hospitals to get them prepared for an outbreak, people 3D printing valves for ventilators so that hospitals don't run out. There's a lot of good people are trying to do, and I somehow made a habit of looking out for the positive news/aspects of all of this. While I was surfing online to find some good news, I found out that some socially responsible companies emerged and decided to offer their tools for free during this quarantine period. Here's the list that I found:

Box. They are offering three months free of its secure file sharing and collaboration platform. The offer is for the company's Business plan and includes unlimited storage, mobile access, and advanced user and security reporting.
Surfshark vpn. With so many companies taking their operations home to prevent the virus from spreading, they become vulnerable to various online threats. They are giving free 6-month accounts to companies which have ten employees or less.
Cisco is extending services for existing customers of Webex, its video conference platform. The offer includes unlimited usage without time restriction and support for fewer than 100 participants.
Cloudflare is offering 500 seats of Cloudflare for Teams (a tool that lets remote workers connect securely and easily to corporate apps) for small businesses through September 1and a free onboarding session.
Google. They're expanding features of Hangouts Meet for current customers, who can now host meetings with up to 250 participants, live stream to 100,000 viewers, and save recordings to Google Drive.
GoToMeeting is offering three months of free site-wide licensing of its video conferencing solution, GoToMeeting, for eligible organizations (health care providers, educational institutions, municipalities and non-profits).
Microsoft. They are offering a six month free trial of Office 365 E1, which includes Microsoft Teams, a communication and collaboration platform, video conferencing, and more. (As of March 10, it is also lifting restrictions on how many users can join a team or schedule video calls.
