Say Goodbye to Google Jamboard and Hello to ShareTheBoard

Google Workspace sent a reminder to its users on 11/11/2024 the Jamboard application will be officially winding down on December 31, 2024. After this date, Google will begin deleting Jamboard files over the following weeks. As Google encourages users to transition to alternative platforms, it’s a good time to explore options that align with your collaboration needs.

Google has noted that users can evaluate alternative whiteboard app partners that integrate with Google Workspace, such as FigJam, Lucidspark, and Miro.

For users who prefer not to transition to yet another digital platform, we encourage a return to the simplicity and effectiveness of real boards, with the support of ShareTheBoard. Unlike purely digital tools, ShareTheBoard bridges the gap between physical and digital collaboration: write on an actual board and your notes will remain visible, interactive, secure and even transcribable – to every one of your viewers, wherever they may be.

Recently, there has been news spreading rapidly about another product joining the ranks of discontinued Google services – and this time, it’s the beloved Jamboard. Effective October 1, 2024, the app will sadly transition into a view-only mode, allowing users one last chance to bid farewell by backing up their cherished Jam files. The final curtain call is scheduled for December 31, 2024, when Jamboard will officially shut down, leaving us without one of the most popular and innovative whiteboarding tools.

With Jamboard’s closure looming, countless users are now on the hunt for a suitable alternative. Businesses have relied on Jamboard for various purposes, including brainstorming and presentations, and its closure will disrupt their workflows, compelling them to seek alternative solutions.
