We send files to clients all the time to get approved. At least in the work we do, we need them to approve files before we can move forward with their projects. We also like to send them the final deliverables for approval. We know there were lots of “file approval” apps out there, but 100% of them required the recipient to put in their email address to review the file, make comments, approve it, etc. But, in our line of work, some clients forward the work to others (like an agency forwarding a file to a celebrity), where the reviewer does not want to put in their email address. There are also some platforms we work with that require us NOT to gather a client’s email address (so all communication can be done on-platform). When we tried the other alternatives, there was also a learning curve and the client just ended up emailing us their feedback, because they could not figure out how to use it.

We couldn’t find a solution, so we just made an internal tool for this! But, once we started using this tool and our recipients would see it in action, they wanted to know what it was and how they could try it out. We told them that it was an internal tool that we used and they told us to let them know if we ever made it public!

It’s called File Approved and if you can use Facebook, you can use this. There isn’t any learning curve on the user side or the client side, since there are only basic features.

Even though we launched it to the public and we think it is working pretty well, we are still wanting feedback, good or bad.

Thanks and also feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
