LeapFILE Plug-in Now Compatible with Outlook 2013

At LeapFILE, we’re always looking to improve the user experience for our service. When you told us you loved the Outlook plug-in and needed it for newer Outlook clients, we heard you! We’re excited to announce our newest Desktop Client and Microsoft Outlook plug-in, compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2013, 2010, & 2007.

Easily access and modify once hidden preferences

LeapFILE configuration on Outlook is easier than ever with the addition of the “LF Options” button that you can find on the top right of your Outlook window. This makes a set of menu options previously buried in the depths of the Outlook preferences, easily available and configurable.

View from Outlook:

Options Menu:

Most notably you can set or modify file size threshold, a setting which automatically dictates whether attachments over a certain size get sent with LeapFILE or via regular email. Don’t worry LeapFILE administrators, you still have final say in the file size threshold if you choose to use that policy company wide. This menu addition simply makes these options more accessible to LeapFILE users who don’t have dedicated account admins.

How to get it!

To get the newest client, simply log on to your LeapFILE account via the web client. Immediately you will see, “Download the latest LeapFILE Desktop Client with Outlook Plug-in”. Click the link and download the new client. Before installing make sure you close and completely quit Outlook and the older version of the LeapFILE Desktop Client. Once this is done, run the installer, complete the fields required, and re-open your Outlook. You’ll see the new additions immediately.

Consistent improvement and innovation

In the past few months we’ve done a considerable amount to spruce up the LeapFILE service. Everything from new pricing and deals for more value to makeovers for the LeapFILE web application and LeapFILE.com. We are committed improving LeapFILE on any front and love hearing from you about how we can best achieve that. Don’t hesitate to tell us about your idea? Email me at Aric.Johnson@LeapFILE.com.

Huge CAD/CAM Files? Send Them with Ease

For over 5 decades, CAD/CAM software has been helping engineers, architects, and designers push their business or technology further with an awesomely robust and unified software platform that improves speed and efficiency. Yet, when it comes time to send these large designs or diagrams to the manufacturer, none of these companies deliver a way to easily, reliably, and securely transfer your data.

Traditionally, users have fluctuated between any combination of email, 3^rd party consumer cloud applications, FTP, and mailing of physical drives, in an attempt to send these large design files. LeapFILE, like CAD/CAM, delivers a unified platform that allows you and other members of your team to easily send and receive large files while providing full security and notifications upon delivery for every file.

Why Other Methods Don’t Work

You’re busy and don’t have time for extra steps, processes, or roadblocks. Furthermore, the data you are sending is proprietary and needs to remain secure at all times because it is your intellectual property. Here’s why other methods of sending large CAD/CAM files don’t work:

• Email doesn’t allow you to attach large files. It also doesn’t provide a verification that your email was received.
• 3^rd party consumer cloud apps aren’t secure. They also can’t reliably send really large files.
• FTP can be reliable, but doesn’t provide any security for transfers and has zero user management capabilities. If you give an outside party access to your FTP, they get access to everything that is in it. Also, FTP requires maintenance and infrastructure which can cost more than its worth.
• Mailing physical drives is not viable or secure because that data can get stolen or compromised along the way … huge security risk!

LeapFILE Streamlines Large File Transfer

With LeapFILE, you can send any files, of any size, as easily as you do an email.

On top of simple, secure transfer, LeapFILE users get notifications when recipients receive the message and again when they download them. This way you know for certain that your file has been received.

Portals Keep Data Safe and Available

LeapFILE also provides a great portal capability that allows user to permit and control guest access to a secure area where files are available for download anytime.

Exchanging large files is easy with LeapFILE. Outside clients or guests can always send a single file or be provisioned access to multiple files so they can get what they need, when they need it.
