How Creative Teams Collaborate on Heavy Design Assets via Email Sharing

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.
