New File Sharing Released

As of this morning, we released file sharing capabilities for our users. Anyone in the group can upload, share and download documents (up to 50 MB free) within the group. Anyone can add descriptions and also be able to associate the documents with an event or a particular date. It's great to be able to share things like the group handbook, forms to fill out and various other flyers and documents. It's the central place where everybody knows where the latest copy is and it reduces the need for paper because you can distribute and store it all online.

What's also very cool (or at least we think) about file sharing is that you can associate a file to a specific event or to a date. Now you can store all of the files associated with an event, all in the same location as the information and planning for the event. So if you have, for instance, a fund raiser, you can have all of the information about the fundraiser (.pdf documents, waiver forms, etc.) next to all of the volunteer signup sheets, next to the RSVP's, next to all of the files that are associated with that event. No more searching through emails to find that file attachment, or going through a list of all of the files the group has ever uploaded in a repository to search for the right one -- it's all there in Qlubb.

With the date association, users can now link files to specific dates for time sensitive documents like a monthly newsletter.

We hope you like file sharing and believe it'll help out a lot of groups. Of course, please do give us feedback if you have ideas and suggestions on how we can improve it further.

Another couple features we released today are improvements to the task and events. On events, we list all of the open volunteering opportunities to encourage people to volunteer for events. We want to lift up tasks more prominently so that people know how they can help and to encourage participation. We also added location and time to events as well - something many of our sports teams really wanted. On the tasks side, we also added dates to tasks. Our users like to be able to set tasks on specific days either for a specific day of an event or for days leading up to an event or even post event (like cleanup, picture book creation, etc.).

We hope these features really help you all out. Let us know how we can continue to improve at info@qlubb.com!
