There are all sorts of company-oriented software on the market nowadays and most of them have a steep learning curve. If you only need to stay in touch with your co-workers and exchange files with them, you should definitely look at Peerio. It is a free and secure platform for messaging and file sharing. The software makes it quite easy to manage contacts, messages and files and even easier to compose and send messages or to upload and send files.

Peerio is available for Windows and Mac OS X and you can also find it on the web store for Google Chrome. Installing the software is not a difficult process, but creating an online account for it may take some time, because you need to create and remember a long pass-phrase, instead of a simple password. Apart from a working Internet connection, you don't need to meet any special requirements.

The software comes with a modern and comfortable user interface. Once you are logged in, you can access your messages, files and contacts on separate tabs. Managing items on each tab is quite simple. All you have to do is click a button to add a new item, click another one to send it and so on. Furthermore, Peerio's search function is quite effective. All you have to do is type a name or part of a name and anything that matches your text will be filtered out on all tabs and the software will highlight the tabs on which it finds something.

Peerio allows you to store your files online. Each time you compose a message and attach something, the program will automatically upload and encrypt the file. Uploaded files can be filtered, to show only documents, photos, videos and other file types. Also, sending files becomes a very easy task. If you wish to send data to one or more clients, you only need to select the files, hit a Send option and insert the contacts you wish to send the files to.

Pros

Peerio makes it quite easy to exchange messages and files with other people. It uploads and encrypts files on the cloud, from where you can manage and send them. The software's interface has a modern design and its controls are very easy to understand.

Cons

Files and messages can be sent only to existing contacts. Pass-phrases and PINs have to be quite long. Collaborating with friends or co-workers can't get any simpler when using Peerio.
