Facebook today announced a new feature called Drives. No, it's not some"unit disk” in the sense of yet another cloud storage service.
Drives feature comes with the concept of “clothing sharing” or “food sharing”. It is based on tools social network's fundraising for emergencies and communities, only this time it's not about raising money but about donating real goods.
The feature, which launches in the US, will be available at the Community Help Center on the Facebook app. You can access by typing 'Community Help'στη line Facebook search and then clicking “Request or Offer Help” and “Create Drive.”
You will then be able to fill out a form with information such as the type and number of materials you want to collect. Once created, you and others will be able to see a tracker that shows how many material goods the collection contains and how many are still needed.
The feature is based on fundraising tools released by Facebook to help with emergencies, charities, nonprofits and more.
Drives start today and will be availabley to all “in the next few days” – hopefully in time for Christmas.
