Review links

Cube review links make it easy to share and collect feedback from clients and collaborators. Right where your files are at. Here’s an alternative to receiving comments by email, chat or over the phone. No need to transfer your files to another system too!

Reviewing work with stakeholders can be messy if feedback lives everywhere. Also, sometimes it is hard to express feedback without the right tools. In Cube, send a review link to a file or folder to your clients and collaborators — doesn’t matter if they don’t have a Cube account. This allows them to leave comments and draw annotations on your work. If you want the review link to stop working after a specific date, set an auto-expiration date. You can also choose to let your viewers download the files you’ve shared with them.
