Revainrating 4 out of 5

This app allows you to integrate your Slack channels with your Gmail account.

One of the most interesting features is the integration with Slack. You don’t have to install anything, it’s integrated into the platform, so you can see all messages inside your Slack channel. It helps to organize your team and make sure everyone knows about important meetings, important tasks, etc. Another great feature is the possibility to change the number and the area code when choosing a phone number. I think this product could benefit from an option where users can choose if they want to receive emails or just get notifications (like slack does). Notifications will allow them to stay connected even without having email accounts. If there was such a feature implemented, my rating would go higher. Also, sometimes I feel like sending an email and getting back a reply isn't enough; maybe some sort of notification should be sent as soon as someone responds?

Pros
  • It is easy to import from Google Drive or Dropbox and it also supports other cloud services like Microsoft Skydrive and Box
  • Is a very simple to use and effective file sharing tool.
  • It's pretty intuitive and it's easy to figure out how things work
Cons
  • It's not a very powerful tool and doesn't have many options for customization
  • Sometimes you have to upload large files before being able to send them through it
  • It lacks many basic features
