GRAPHIC DESIGNER: EASY FILE SHARING

It is often important for graphic designers to be in constant communication with their clients: you must be able to show them the work you have done and get feedback from them as you go. The files that you generate are often very large - far too large to send by email. FTP transfer is not a viable file sharing solution because who really wants the hassle of managing their own FTP server? Unless all your customers are nearby, burning your files onto a CD and then delivering them by hand or courier is prohibitively expensive (both in terms of time and money).

However, a web-based, easy to use file sharing utility will give you a distinct advantage over your competitors. You will be able to send your files to your clients as you work, updating them as frequently as they (and you) desire. Your clients in turn will be able comment on your work and send commented or edited files back to you, saving you a lot of money on courier fees and improving communication with your clients by letting them feel more involved in the process.
