Unfortunately we have to annouce that we can no longer provide the online editor for free on the Free accounts. Due to our partner, who provides this functionality to us, have changed their policy. We try and give any many features on the Free account as the paid with some limitations, but obviously this costs and there are unfortunately limits to what we can provide for free.

Something that some of you have requested for a while now is the ability to set up Workspace templates which you can use every time a new project kicks off. We've now implemented this in Glasscubes and I wanted to bring to your attention the functionality available, how to use it, and what the limitations are.

We've made some updates a while ago that we wanted to bring to you attention in case you missed this new extra functionality on your account. When managing projects or working on sales proposals you quite often need to share a file, document or folder securely with a client. Normally most people will send these via email, which is totally NOT secure, and is not encoded in anyway - your files can easly be intercepted.

When it comes to online collaborating, sharing files, etc its good to keep abreast of who else on your account is doing what so you can keep an overview of everything happening in your organization. Of course we have the Activity feeds in Glasscubes that gives you a snapshot of everything that has been happening.

We glad to announce that we now have a thumbnail view of all images in the document file section. You simply need to select 'thumbnail' from the 'View' drop down as highlighted with the green arrow:

We've changed the default Workspace dashboard to include a micro message/blog field just like you have in Facebook and Twitter. This is great for sharing information with Glasscubes online project management

From today you can collaborate with other people using 'online shared folders'.

From today you can now download multiple files and folders at once.

This weekend we are making available across all accounts the ability to create User Groups. What are user groups? Its a convenient way of grouping users together so that you can select a group of people with a single click when sending a notification or adding them to a Workspace. Groups can be anything you want from an internal team, or an external company. So how does it work? - first go to the 'Admin area' then 'User security', scroll down to just under the list of users and you will see this now:

This weekend we are updating how the passwords are managed in your account.
