Last night we boosted storage space on Personal through Premium plans.

Much appreciated!

You little ripper! Thank you.

This is a very generous move. Meanwhile, as a Max user, much as I would appreciate more space for free, I would be just as happy to pay for it. If you’re waiting for me to near the 50GB limit on my Max account, please don’t hold your breath because that wouldn’t healthy. If I could buy 150 or even 100GB, I would probably use Basecamp instead of my local fileserver and integrate Basecamp in our operations even more. As long as the limit is 50GB, large as that may seem and generous as that is at the price, I can’t make that move, so I’ll just use a few gigs for certain purposes. So ‘ll be waiting for you to offer (to sell) me more space while you wait for me to max out my Max space:-). I’m afraid my statistics won’t be very valuable to you.

Well, clearly I don’t know what I’m talking about so please ignore everything I say. Except the following….Turns out I’m currently a Premium customers very interested in lots more space. So you can put me down in your “We could probably make more revenue from this customer if we bumped up the Max space allotment” category. And do make a new category called “We could make even more revenue from this customer if we offered more space as an option.” You’ll probably also need a 3rd category: “This customer writes such long forum comments that we should probably just write him off as a crank.”

The division of the company I work for, (about ~180 people) is looking at using Basecamp as a result of my department adopting it with eagerness and high praise since it’s simplicity works just right, for projects. This happened via true ground up organic adoption based on clear real day to day needs that didn’t wait for the “corporate solution” based on non-user-centered requirements gathering and design. So a battle has been won it seems, but the war against bureaucracy is far from over.

One of the battles is about file management. It seems people in charge of my division are looking to spend several thousand a year with Box.net or Yousendit.com since it has more file and folder user access control, and more importantly also has larger max file size limits (1GB and 2GB respectively.)

When will Basecamp offer plans that at least have larger (1GB or 2GB) max file size??

My boss loves our move to Basecamp, but wants it to be as much a one-stop solution for our project needs. We don’t want to end up with a hodge-podge of 3rd party apps no matter how “web 2.0” snazzy they are… we want Basecamp to grow with us!

First off – thank you for the increase.

Second off – the client I am evaluating Base Camp for could certainly use more storage. They would pay for it, but, without it we are sorta stuck doing the same thing as Neotint up there – hodgepodging it. We would also need larger single file size limits – we scan documents every day and it would be nice to keep the last couple of weeks live where both them and THEIR customer could check on things.

Just a thought. I don’t know where the right price point is at, but so far 37S has had a great track record.

Keep up the great work and code guys!

Sorry…

Also the ability to have a file share auto archive/delete based on different criteria would have to happen. The end user will simply never manager this themselves!

I’m shutting up now….
