Remote collaboration with clients or with remote team members can be a pain. There are two main options, email or Skype. But we all know that it takes time and choosing between Reply and Reply All is sometimes complicated and some won’t be able to keep up with all the discussion.
Sure, you can email files around, but that quickly gets messy, and can make it hard to keep track of which is the current version. It’s enough only two or three team members to make changes at the same time and it can become a nightmare. It means these two options not the best options for the small or large team and freelance designers.
