A few weeks ago we added the ability to create guest accounts so that you can share your Projects with people who may be outside your core company team. This feature was requested by many of our users as often times companies will work with outside contractors or consultants who need to be able to provide feedback to the team.
How do I add Guests?
Adding a guest account is no different than adding a team Member, it’s just has one less decision to worry about! Here’s a quick screenshot of what you’ll see after to choose to create a “+New” member in your team from the “Settings” page.
Create a Guest Account the same way you would a Team member.
The major difference between guest accounts and team member accounts is that guest accounts are not allocated storage for backup. Normally when you add a Team member you need to allocated backup space for their files.
What can Guests do?
- View rendered files when mobile
- Add comments to collaborative files.
- Download files for editing
- Upload files for review
- Forward files via email or URL link
- Create new sub-folders
Guests accounts do count as a user license, so be sure and remove guests after your Project is completed. Even if the guest is no longer part of the project, the information submitted to the project will still be secured and available for the company users. Thanks to the user feedback that helped us define this new capability. Please keep the communication flowing as we do act on our community feedback!
