Cons of Slack  | Disadvantages:

  2. There is only a limited amount of file storage. When files are sent via slack rather than email, it can be inconvenient because you only get us as much storage as your company chooses to pay for, so slack gradually deletes files over time.
  3. It can be a source of distraction. If you are not careful, you can easily become engrossed in every conversation.
