Today we rolled out some file management features for use within your ziptask project management area. Instead of using shared dropbox folders to manage all your files for a project, you can simply click on the files link at the top of the project details area, and create your own custom set of files and folders for that specific project. 

Within the file management section, you will see multiple repositories, which clearly separate files for visibility purposes. Project managers can see everything, while customers and freelance teams can only see in specific selected repositories. This is quite important actually, as it protects freelancers from customers who don't want to pay the bill, and protects customers from handing out files to freelancers before they're ready. It also allows customers to only show a project manager specific files, keeping them safe from the eyes of the freelancers. The project manager sits in the middle, so he sees everything. 

Once you select your repository, you'll see a web based file management area where you can create any number of folders, drill down into your custom hierarchy, add files from dropbox or from your local folders on your computer. 

Right-click on a file to rebuild the context menu. 

You can copy/paste, rename, download, delete, or even save right into your dropbox account. This becomes incredibly helpful when the files start to get bigger.
