Developing a top-quality digital product, let alone a new bestseller takes a huge amount of professional skills, efforts and, certainly, time. More importantly, it also requires another crucial, yet often challenging factor – the efficient collaboration in your team. Fortunately, the latter shouldn’t necessarily be exhausting, if you’re using 4Sync.

Universal access to all crucial data

Regardless of the product complexity and scale, your need at least a small team of web-designers, developers and QA’s to handle its production from scratch. The key thing is to keep everyone aware of the production schedule and progress, along with the scope of tasks assigned to them and their priority.

Why use 4Sync? Keeping the project data synced and accessible at 4Sync across all platforms and devices enables keeping your team informed on the latest changes and updates.

Better online communication

Clearly, ongoing meetings and collaborative discussions are highly important for any project success.

However, “many meetings” doesn’t always mean “many effective meetings.” In fact, the effective online communication in team enables you to both minimize time, wasted on another “crucial” meeting, and maximize achieved results, at the same time.

Why use 4Sync? Assigning granular 4Sync access permissions to production schedule, change of task priorities and statutes or other essential data with specified sub-team, enables commenting, discussing or clarifying required adjustments online much faster and easier.

Reviewing in real time

Naturally, creating a high-quality digital product usually requires tons of ongoing reviews; and the better you are at reviewing product iterations, the fewer improvements their upcoming version will usually have.

Why use 4Sync? Using the new “4Sync Comment Pins” feature, reviewing product design, UX/UI sketches, prototypes or their particular elements is much faster and easier. It takes a click or two to Pin a Comment to a selected area of shared graphical content at 4Sync or join others’ discussion.

Tracking progress & ongoing results

Team management can be overwhelming, if you fail to track the project progress and results on the regular basis. Getting daily or weekly online reports from each sub-team should, however, allows keeping things under control.

Why use 4Sync? Keeping reported data in a separate folder with gradual sharing access at 4Sync enables you to avoid useless paperwork and keep all data accessible to you anytime.

Namely, the newest version of 4Sync for iOS features enhanced preview of images, videos and PDF documents, along with the upgraded playback in the in-app music player.

As for the brand-new 4Sync for Android, it includes a set of modifications in the download functionality and the optimized preview of local files and account data.

Time to check out the new features yourself – install the updated 4Sync for Android and 4Sync for iOS from Google Play and App Store, accordingly!

“4Sync Comment Pins” is a brand-new feature that enables you to mark and annotate regions of shared image files at 4Sync (JPEG, PNG, GIF) directly in your web-browser.

“4Sync Comment Pins” can be super-helpful in discussions and revisions of images, web-design samples and any other graphic media. In addition, you can use the web-feature to:

• Highlight errors/corrections and suggestions on designs
• Mark & check proofs prior to a final release
• Annotate designs, e.g. plans in discussions with other team members or clients
• Discuss certain data point in charts and graphs
• Name people in photos, etc.

All added comment pins to a particular image at 4Sync are shown as circled numbers on the image on its preview web-page.
