All of our users have one thing in common, they have to share visual information and need to gather contextual feedback. This is done for product development, user interface design, store layouts, marketing materials, architectural and engineering and a whole host of unique use cases. In most of the user cases they also had the need to share other documents with the project teams. These could be budget sheets, text docs, code or any other program specific files. Until now that was usually done with a central FTP. We have centralized this into ConceptShare and we are excited by the launch of the ConceptShare File locker.

The File locker allows for files to be downloaded by workspace users. So this eliminates a lot of the need that our clients had for secondary storage for their projects. All related project files can be uploaded for quick and easy access. There are no limits to the types of files that can be stored in the locker so feel free to use it for all your project requirements. We have enabled batch uploading for files allowing you to bring in all the files you need in one quick upload.

Where do I Find the File Locker

You can access the Workspace File locker a couple of different ways

From the File menu in the workspace

From the Assets menu in the workspace

From the “My Workspaces” page under the edit option on the workspace  (this is for workspace admins.)

The great stuff keeps on on rolling out of the ConceptShare Labs. The File locker is a big improvement for ConceptShare, we know that you have been waiting for this feature and we are glad to be able to deliver it.  Our biggest asset is the ability for us to tap into 4 years of user relationships we have developed. Our users provide valuable feedback and we are able to respond with a better tool. Often times the fixes and tweaks slide in and just make the flow better, this one is a bit more obvious. Stay tuned because there is more on the horizon.

If you have any questions please feel free to ping me.

Cheers

Scott

I wanted to share a great video that Dalton from Expression College created showing off ConceptShare. I love it. This is a great video that has been done in conjunction with Wacom to show off their really cool tablet technology. I really like the job that Dalton and there is a whole collection of videos in this Wacom series. Glad we could be apart of it. Thanks Everyone!

A bit of background on Wacom and ConceptShare. Both Bernie and I have been using Wacom tablets for the last 4 years and have loved them. I have actually been a big pusher of the technology to anyone who uses computers on a regular basis. I think that they are much better for the wrist. The other great thing is the affordability of the units …. there is no price barrier there …. I think that we picked up our latest bamboo’s for under 79 bucks. Worth every penny.

I know a few people who have made the switch and are getting very used to the idea of the pen and aren’t looking back to the mouse.

Cheers
