Koofr vs Slack
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Koofr and Slack — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Koofr vs Slack: at a glance
What is Koofr?
Koofr's iOS app gets a text editor, and public links get minute-level expiry.
Koofr is a privacy-focused cloud storage service working through mobile parity with its web app. The November 3 release adds a text editor to the iOS app, improves editing documents in external apps through the Files integration, lets public links expire down to the minute, and gives paid users custom link passwords. It follows October's Android sharing upgrade.
What is Slack?
Slack now hosts any A2A agent without Slack-specific code.
Slack's developer channel is almost all agent plumbing. On 10 November Slack became an A2A (Agent2Agent) client: a team hosts its own agent, publishes an Agent Card, and Slack calls it when people talk to it, with no request URL, event handling or Slack-specific logic. This follows Slackbot skills managed through Web API methods, a Slack CLI that points coding agents to the Slack MCP server, and a new requirement that Work Objects embeds allow the slack-mcps.com frame ancestor.

Koofr
5.0COLLAB
Koofr's iOS app gets a text editor, and public links get minute-level expiry.
◆ Current state
Koofr is a privacy-focused cloud storage service working through mobile parity with its web app. The November 3 release adds a text editor to the iOS app, improves editing documents in external apps through the Files integration, lets public links expire down to the minute, and gives paid users custom link passwords. It follows October's Android sharing upgrade.
◆ Where it's heading
Since the iOS 4.0 rebuild in June, releases have steadily brought web features to mobile: document scanning, Android link controls, now an iOS editor. Sharing controls get tightened in the same releases, alongside an ongoing effort to recover from repeated DDoS disruptions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the text editor to reach Android and more link controls across apps, given the alternating iOS and Android parity releases.
Slack
6.3COMMSCOLLAB
Slack now hosts any A2A agent without Slack-specific code.
◆ Current state
Slack's developer channel is almost all agent plumbing. On 10 November Slack became an A2A (Agent2Agent) client: a team hosts its own agent, publishes an Agent Card, and Slack calls it when people talk to it, with no request URL, event handling or Slack-specific logic. This follows Slackbot skills managed through Web API methods, a Slack CLI that points coding agents to the Slack MCP server, and a new requirement that Work Objects embeds allow the slack-mcps.com frame ancestor.
◆ Where it's heading
Slack is lowering the cost of putting outside agents in front of its users: first skills as code, then MCP pointers for coding agents, now a standard protocol in place of the Slack app model for agents. The platform is positioning itself as the place where agents built anywhere meet the people who use them.
◆ Prediction
Expect more A2A follow-ups, such as agents appearing in Slackbot or skills surfaces and richer Agent Card features, given how fast the agent releases have stacked up since October.
