The groove.exe process is also known as the Microsoft SharePoint Workspace (used to be known as Microsoft Office Groove) and is owned by the Microsoft Corporation. This program is a desktop application which was designed for the collaboration of documents within teams along their members who are only occasionally online and are regularly offline or who come from different networks and do not share the same network security clearance. The user can spend less time trying to coordinate with each other and more time working on their current projects. This software allows the user’s team to work together like they were present in the same physical location. Organizational teams of people in varying sizes and types can speed up the way they finish their work by sharing files, with formal and informal projects or bigger-scale business processes. This process is a non-system process and it comes originally from the software the user has installed within his or her computer system.
