Here is a more detailed product overview which can provide you the full productivity with ease and freedom.

Depending on the usage, you have the option to ‘Send Files for Read’ or ’Send Files for Edit’. The first allows the file to only be downloaded and read, while the second lets you edit the file.

As a file owner, if you had entered your e-mail id while uploading the files, then you would receive confirmation e-mail with links to read or edit file (depending on the option selected during upload) and file delete. If not, a confirmation page would display the link to read or edit file. The said file cannot be deleted.

To share files, the e-mails of both the file owner and the recipient’(s) are required. The recipient will receive an e-mail containing file read/edit links to the shared files.

Note: Currently, ’Send Files for Edit’ option is available only for .doc, .xls and .ppt office files.
