Topic: System Announcements / More storage space, same price

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!

Topic: System Announcements / NEW FEATURE: Image thumbnails for messages and comments

You may have just made Basecamp now the most progressive and focused app for working on the web making the web via the web!! My only complaint all these years has been this lack of visual reference that is so central to web design projects, which is 90% of what I do. Just yesterday after using you guys personally for my consulting work over the years since your app was in beta, I just purchased a business account for my department of 20 here at work… when introducing it to all here who haven’t used it before I listed my complaint again…. no thumbnails of images, just nice icons of file types, but otherwise a great KISS group hub for all our 30+ projects.

THANK YOU!!!
