Along with making it easy to send large files, another one of SendAlong’s goals is to make collaborating on those files easier. To that end, SendAlong now supports posting comments on the messages you send. These comments are permanent and are visible anytime you (as the sender) or any of your recipients view the message online. Comments are also automatically emailed to everyone on the message.

Here’s an example of how this would be helpful: say you’re a graphic designer and you use SendAlong to mail 3 different logo designs out to 10 different people, asking for their opinions on which logo they like best. Instead of hoping that the 10 recipients make sure to “reply-all” on every email they send, they can view the message on SendAlong as well as have their discussion there using the new comment system. Everyone will be automatically emailed anytime a comment is left, and even better, there will be a permanent record of those comments located right alongside the files themselves.

Combine comments with SendAlong’s ability to attach detailed descriptions to each file, and you’ve got the basis for a very handy document and file management system.

Of course, no new feature post would be complete without some screenshots, so here they are.

This is what you and your recipients will see in SendAlong:

And here’s an example of the email that will be sent anytime a comment is added:
