Support for Sharing Microsoft Works Files

Today we made a little change to our upload page to enable sharing of Microsoft Works files with the .WKS extension.

This change came about as a result of a user request. If you have a file type that you’d like to share on Approver.com, please leave us feedback.

More Tweaks to Upload Page

Today we released a fix to our upload page that resolves an issue that was preventing some Approver.com Pro users from taking advantage of our new 50 megabyte maximum for file uploads. If you have a Pro account, you should be able to upload files of up to 50 megabytes in size; if you don’t have a Pro account, upgrade here.

Tweaks to Upload Page; Scrivener Support

We just released a new version of the Approver.com upload page that fixes a problem having to do with the way we store old versions of uploaded files. If you were one of the two or three users who were having trouble accessing revisions of uploaded files this week, this should fix things.

Today we also added support for uploading and sharing Scrivener files. Scrivener is a terrific tool for writers; it has an integrated outliner, a place for research notes and external links, and awesome project management features. It’s particularly good for working on book-length projects. For more information, check out their web site or read the NY Times’ glowing review of Scrivener that came out last week.

Bigger and Better Uploads

Today we’ve made some significant enhancements to the way you can upload files to Approver.com. Paid Approver.com Pro users can now upload and share files as large as 50 megabytes.

In addition to increasing the maximum upload size, we’ve added a few new file types that you can share on Approver.com. These include media files (digital video as well as MP3s) as well as compressed .ZIP archives. As with the more generous upload limit, these new file types are available to paid Approver.com Pro users only. Upgrade now to take advantage of these handy new features.

Last but not least, we’ve re-engineered our upload page to make the process of uploading a file much friendlier, particularly for large files. You can now see a progress bar in the browser that shows you how much time your upload will take, and the page will validate your upload before the upload is sent (so you won’t waste time uploading a file that’s too large for us to accept, for example).
