Claude Cowork is on web and mobile for every paid plan — still beta.

Anthropic's help center: web and mobile Cowork is beta for Pro, Max, and Team; Enterprise needs an admin enable. Sessions and files ride the Claude account across desktop, web, and phone. Cloud tasks keep running with the laptop closed; local folders and computer use still need the desktop app online.12

Product page: included on Pro, Max, and Enterprise; Team on the access matrix. Gmail send and Google Drive file management are in the same window's connector write path (secondary reports); treat connector scope as a permission review, not a free upgrade.34

Wait

Turn it on for Pro/Max/Team if you want cross-device handoff. Keep auto-approve off for mail and Drive until you have tried a throwaway folder. Enterprise: confirm the admin toggle before assuming the rollout reached you.

Deeper — surfaces and limits
  • Web: claude.ai. Mobile: latest iOS/Android apps.12
  • Chrome side panel Cowork: Max and Team; Pro as rollout reaches you; Enterprise with admin enable.1
  • Live artifacts: desktop only on the surface matrix.1
  • Safety doc still labels cloud execution beta; prompt-injection guidance is the real constraint when connectors can write.5
