Facebook today announced a new feature called Drives. No, it's not some"unit δίσκου” με την έννοια μιας ακόμη υπηρεσίας αποθήκευσης στο cloud.
The Drives function comes with the concept of "clothing sharing" or "food sharing". It relies on social media fundraising tools for emergencies and communities, only this time it is not about raising money but donating real estate.
The feature, which is launching in the US, will be available in the Community Help Center at application Facebook. You can access it by typing 'Community Help' on the line searchof Facebook and then clicking on “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 wish to collect. Once created, you and others will be able to see one Tracker which shows how many material goods the collection contains but also 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 available to everyone "in the coming days" - hopefully it will be in time for Christmas.
