Indy makes it easy for you to store and organize your project files, share them with your clients and collaborators, and get your work approved faster than ever.

You can work with your clients and collaborators in many different ways β€” you can simply share files with them, give them the ability to comment on files, or ask for a formal sign-off by requiring them to approve files.

File upload and organization

On the Files page, click the 'Upload a file' or drag and drop a file in.

πŸ’‘ tip: you can easily upload files by clicking the 'New' button in the top navigation bar.

Once a file is in the system, you can easily organize your information in folders. Simply create the '+ New' button to start.

Then select which files you'd like to move and where.

The following file types are supported in file preview.

  • Graphic formats: JPEG, JPG, GIF (without video), BMP, PNG, WEBP, TIFF, SVGD, AI, PSD, PDF (thumbnail fix), AVIF, ICO, DNG

  • Docs and spreadsheets: XLSX, XLS, XLSB, DOCX, DOC, PDF

  • Audio formats: MP3, MP4, OPUS, OGG, WAV, AAC, M4A, FLAC

Any other file types can be uploaded and shared but will need to be downloaded by the recipient to view.

Sharing

When you upload a file, you can decide if you want your recipient to only view or view and comment on the file.

Getting feedback and final sign-off

There are a few different ways you can work with your client and collaborators and get feedback on your files.

Comments

You can use comments to get feedback from your clients and collaborators on your work.

Notations

You, your clients, and collaborators can also use notations to comment on specific areas of the file to make it obvious what each comment is referring to. Notations are currently only supported on images.

There are two ways to leave a notation comment:

  1. From the toolbar at the bottom of the preview area

  2. From the comment field in the sidebar

Approval

You can require your clients and collaborators to formally approve and sign off on your work. Adding an approval requirement is a great way to safeguard you from scope creep and your work from being questioned at the end of a project.
