ConceptShare File Locker
{ January 26th, 2009 }
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

Any plans for document authoring? Think google docs or open goo documents. That would take the file locker from useful to indespensable!

@Alan there are lots of things that we can do. We have taken a few steps forward on content creation with our web tools and tie into stock art companies. Maybe an opportunity to work with an existing provider.
I would be interested to know how much of the web population has moved to the web for document creation.
thanks for the feedback!
Cheers
