David Miller

Creative Workflow Engineer

"Design agencies handling multi-gigabyte .PSD, .AI, and .PRPROJ master files cannot email large attachments. Direct email sharing provides secure collaborative hubs for remote creative teams."

Why Emailing Heavy Design Files Fails

Traditional email attachments break creative workflows:

25MB Attachment Caps

Heavy Photoshop comps with 50 layers exceed 500MB.

Version Control Chaos

Emailing attachments back and forth creates multiple duplicate files.

1. Centralized Team Access via Email Permissions

Add your lead designer and client email addresses to a master project folder. Everyone accesses the latest uncompressed assets inside their personal 'Shared With Me' dashboard.

  • Store master .PSD and .AI files in bit-for-bit uncompressed resolution.
  • Eliminate duplicate email attachment files.
  • Maintain clean version control across creative teams.
