File this under useful

Share Files on your skrbl whiteboard.

We deployed the file sharing feature Wednesday. It just makes sense, in the middle of a meeting why turn to email to send a file, just share right there on your skrbl whiteboard. The guests who want the file can get it, and stuffed mailboxes everywhere will be forever grateful. Or you could put files on your private skrbl where only you have access; your personal online parking place. And yes it is still free.

File sharing works like picture sharing. You upload from the file menu or by right clicking in any tag. Browse to select the file and hit upload. The file is uploaded and an icon appears on the whiteboard with the file name. To download, right click for the context menu. Simple isn't it?

You do need to login to upload files, this keeps file ownership straight. Deleting the file icon from a dashboard doesn't delete it from your online storage, only the file owner can do that from the 'my files' section of 'my skrbls'. When you're logged in, you can see a list of all your online files in the file menu, so your files are handy to share on multiple whiteboards, just click on the file name in the file menu and your file is shared on that whiteboard.

Online storage is limited to 10 mb per user, I know, I know this is quite low but still enough to be useful in a meeting - don't you think? We will try to increase online storage but hey we don't have google's budget or else skrbl too would be giving you a 'Goozillion' MBs. :). Individual files need to be less than 2 MB.

So go ahead, start sharing files on skrbl, we think you will find it useful, do let us know what you think.

Any plans to offer the ability for screen sharing? For expample, so I could show another web page I am on. Will I ever be able to open a file or show someone else part of something I am working on in an application (e.g., spreadsheet)?
