I use FrameIO, and really like it. I used it at Turner; it was the one =
we settled on after much back and forth and research by bigger brains =
than mine. FrameIO is responsive to customer needs, and developed extra =
tools for us for massive storage and ISO requirements.

I still use it now that I=E2=80=99m freelance. As with most other =
software its subscription now ($180ish per yr), but I=E2=80=99ve never =
had a problem with client access. If you=E2=80=99re using it for =
delivering masters you may need a slightly higher level ($$) of storage.

There are two levels of sharing. Presentation mode is a read-only link =
that can be downloadable or not. It does not require that the viewer =
have FrameIO. Review mode allows viewers to make comments. I think they =
may have to have a FrameIO account to make comments, but I=E2=80=99m not =
sure. Comments are frame based and allow drawing on screen. Mine is set =
up to e-mail me when a viewer leaves a comment.

That=E2=80=99s about the extent of what I use; there are other tools as =
well - levels pop notification, integration with Slack, etc.

My 2=C2=A2.

Cheers,
D
