Store your files in the cloud

Upload any file type including images, movies, documents, spreadsheets, ZIP files — it’s all fair game. You can even organize your files into folders.

Get approval on your files

Add a client as the Approver on a file and they'll be able to give you feedback. Now you can get that thumbs up with an official approval.

Add revisions with version control

Need to make a revision after a round of feedback? No problem. Just upload a new version to the same file and you’re good to go. Seamless, automatic organization.

Share it or keep it private

You determine who gets to see your files and who gets to comment on them, even if it means revoking someone’s access. Files are private until you share them and you can always unshare them.

Improve your paper trail with version control

Improve your paper trail with version control

When you upload new versions of a file on top of an existing file, you can seamlessly navigate from one version to another to see how the file has changed over time. Comments are tied to versions, so you can track the feedback for each version separately.

Versioning means you can say goodbye to a few headaches and crazy file names like filename-final-2-final.PNG.

Resolve comments and leave replies

Resolve comments and leave replies

The built-in commenting system helps you keep the conversation about your files clear, focused, and in the proper context (no more long, winding chats via email). Reply to comments to create threads and resolve comments to filter out the stuff that’s done.

Don’t worry, you can always filter the resolved comments back into view if you need to.

Share with others

Share with others

Only one person can approve the file, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get feedback from your collaborators. Share with specific people and grant them the ability to leave comments, or generate a sharable link that you can add to an email, social media, or wherever you’d like to share it.

Files FAQ

Which files can I store on Indy?

Looking for cloud storage? You can put the binoculars away. We’ve got you covered! Upload and share almost anything with clients–documents, ZIP files, pictures, movies, and spreadsheets are all fair game. Indy doesn’t support previews for all file types, but you can still upload them and your clients can download them.

What can I do with my files and Indy?

Keep your files organized safely in one place, ready to be shared with clients at a button’s notice. Create folders to make it easier to find any document you need. When you’re ready for the big reveal, you can add clients or team members as an Approver where they can suggest changes, make comments, and give their approval when the work is finished. The Files tool is where collaboration lives, so you can make the adjustments that wow clients.

How does Indy track comments and revisions?

Version control lets you track comments by adding a new version to any file with a simple upload. Comments and suggestions are linked to the specific version, so it’s easy to track progress from one draft to the next. Mission accomplished? Resolve and filter comments, so you don’t waste time looking through old conversations. Making revisions has never been this smooth.

Are files secure on Indy’s system?

Absolutely! We take security and privacy very seriously. All files are stored on secure servers and locked down with industry-standard SSL encryption. You have total control over who you share files with, even if that means removing viewing privileges. Files can be unshared at any time. You hold the keys. You call the shots!
