What is Deskfirst?

In the simplest terms possible, Deskfirst is a file-sharing platform with the familiar desktop environment you know and love!

Deskfirst allows you to store any type of file in the cloud, access it from anywhere in the world (where an internet connection is available…), and collaborate with others – be it team members, or external subcontractors.

What makes Deskfirst truly powerful is that with the Pro plan, you can create up to 100 web desktops which will allow you to separate every client, project, and use case into a dedicated web desktop, making sure that no two worlds ever collide.

The second thing that makes Deskfirst truly powerful is its simplicity. While the power is in your hands, and every small detail of your web desktops is controllable, we’ve made sure that every feature is so intuitive that any person, no matter how tech-savvy, can use Deskfirst to its full potential and understand it within seconds.

Since Deskfirst is so intuitive and has virtually no learning curve, it makes life significantly easier for you because both you and the people you’re collaborating with won’t ever need to spend precious time figuring out how to use it!

What can I do with it?

Deskfirst looks great, feels right, and is super intuitive. But, it’s not just beautiful, it also has a purpose.

Essentially, Deskfirst was built to make file-sharing and collaboration with external entities extremely easy.

As an example, let’s take a marketing agency.

The relationship is triangular; there’s the marketing agency, the client, and external subcontractors that are assisting the agency in accomplishing the work.

Now, naturally, the agency wouldn’t want the client or the subcontractors to have access to their internal cloud storage.

That’s where Deskfirst steps into the picture.

The marketing agency can simply create a web desktop that’s dedicated to the client, give access to that desktop to the client so that he can upload all of the assets that are required for the project, and give access to the subcontractors so that they can transform the assets into finished work for the agency to use!

The result?

Files are easily shared between anyone who’s involved in the project, work gets done efficiently and easily, and the agency’s internal cloud storage never gets accessed by people who’re not part of the agency!

Now, in this example, we’re referring to an imaginary marketing agency, but it applies just as well to any industry and any size of company!

It doesn’t matter whether you’re an architect, graphic designer, animator, software developer, music producer, company, or a freelancer, Deskfirst is for every person and every company who shares files, collaborates with others, and likes to be productive :-)

How Deskfirst compares to other platforms?

Honestly, other tools on the market are great! And if you’re using one that you love, we urge you not to change what works :-)

But, if you sometimes feel that your brand is being left out and doesn’t get the stage it deserves when you’re sharing files and collaborating with other people then Deskfirst is definitely worth a shot!

When upgrading to the Pro plan, you get to enjoy the powerful branding feature which allows you to upload your company’s logo to the web desktops you create, so that anyone you collaborate with knows and remembers exactly who you are!

And, if you ever feel that the platform you’re currently using to share files and collaborate doesn’t have an intuitive, flexible enough interface, and it causes you frustration and consumes precious time then Deskfirst is definitely worth a shot!

With Deskfirst you get the warm and familiar desktop environment, completely online – drag & drop files, organize everything however you want, leave sticky notes, customize backgrounds, and so much more. It’s so intuitive that you won’t even notice that you’re in the browser!

How will it make my life better?

Deskfirst was built because of a pain that we’ve personally experienced – we felt that the platforms out there were built for tech-savvy people and that while they made life much easier, they also made it infinitely more complex.

That’s why we’ve built Deskfirst around a simple principle; we want people to be able to focus on their work, rather than on figuring out how to use the tools that are part of their work.

Deskfirst is going to make your professional life much easier with a super intuitive and familiar desktop interface! No more gray, endless file lists, and custom permissions for every file. Now you can share files using a smooth, beautiful desktop, that allows you to control permissions easily.
