The technical requirements for working with BSCW are extremely low:
You need a personal email address to register as a user at a BSCW server.
To access shared workspaces and save documents from them to your local computer, you need a modern web browser with JavaScript and cookies enabled. Suitable browsers include the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Apple's Safari (for the current minimum browser version requirements, see 3.5 Configure browser). Drag-and-drop document upload is also supported by these browsers.
