Filechat - collaborate on documents, pictures and videos in GDrive and Dropbox


Filechat is a new, free service that allows you to collaborate on documents, photos and videos in Dropbox or Google Drive. Instead of just commenting on a document or file, users can chat, like and vote on any of their files in Drive or Dropbox. You can even have multiple conversations with different teams or groups. It adds more "social" features to collaborate with others in a tailored caht room that is based in a file or folder.

Users can store their files in their preferred platform and use Filechat to collaborate with anyone. It also includes a search tool.




The "owner" of the Filechat discussion invites others to view and collaborate on the files and controls access. They can also give participants the ability to add files, vote and chat.

The mobile app allows you to get notifications, preview and edit files and participate in the conversations.

 

  



It is free, with premium levels coming shortly. It is available online and for Android and iOS. Support for OneDrive, Box and Amazon Cloud Drive are coming soon too.

Droplr File Sharing Service changes to Freemium model


File sharing services are very popular. While I usually use Evernote or Google Apps for my work and share from them, there are times when I need to share files in other ways.

I wrote about one file sharing service, Droplr, back in 2012. Back then, the free account was 1 GB of storage and 25 MB file size uploads. There was also a Pro version that gave you 1GB uploads and 100GB of storage for $3/month or $30/year.

Droplr has just announced that they are going to change to a freemium business model. The paid version is $4.99 per month. Now, you will be able to use their clients and share screenshots, images, files and videos of your desktop through email and social networks for free. The links will expire after a week though. The pro plan, which lets you keep them longer, costs $9.99/month.



So, you can do some cool stuff for free, but there are limits.
