Share

Seems like a lot of those new share functionality has been thought about already, but figured I'd drop in some of those ideas here.

Share directly with a user. Team spaces are great, but in reality, they get cluttered REALLY quickly. They're a great space for finalized assets to live while waiting for production. Those assets are easily updated within that space as well. The big problem is when someone on your team wants help with a particular interaction, you probably want to avoid clogging up the team space with random files, so having the ability to share a file directly would be a great addition. We could have a few sharing options that could make the experience flexible and be right for any situation.

  1. Send to team - Sends a copy of the file from your personal space, directly to the team space.

    Bonus points if you could dictate exactly where the file ends up, so the ability to say, send to Folder X or Y.

    BIG bonus points if you could "tag a team member". This would allow you to tag a team member and that team member would receive a notification that "a new file has been added to the X Folder on your team". In addition to tagging, sending a little note with the file would also go a long way.

    MORE bonus points if files that you are tagged in could be found in the "shared with me" tab in the file browser.

  2. Share with user - Shares a copy of a file directly with a user. That file lives in a "shared with me" in the file browser. This is an ad-hoc team space where shared files live. They don't have to be collaborative like a team file, but could they be? The idea with this is to make sharing a file easy, without needing to clog up a team space or, without needing to download a .rev, send the file and a message on Slack or email.

    In an ideal world, users would receive a notification that a new file has been shared with them, and the sending user could attach, AT A MINIMUM, a message to the file. The PERFECT scenario is if we could attach a video clip.

    As an add-on to the "Save current revision" idea, sending a specific revision would also be great.

  3. Share with viewer - Basically, a share link, but more akin to a community post. Viewers would be able to leave general feedback, maybe even give reactions similar to how community posts work now?

    Files shared in this way would also live in the "shared with me" tab on the file browser... so viewers would need to have their own Rive account.

    Good way to share with the big boss man who is just there for the final thumbs up or down.

  4. Share for review -  This is similar to sharing with a viewer, except there's added functionality for creative directors, or heads of motion, or whatever the role would be. It would likely look like a share-link or community post window.

    CMD+SHIFT+C - Takes a screenshot, pauses playback, or somehow creates a timestamp so that specific feedback can be given.

    In a perfect world, you'd be able to draw on the window.
