What is Filestage?
Filestage is a review and approval platform that aims to free teams from chaotic approval processes.
From large enterprises to independent agencies, Filestage helps teams share, discuss, and approve all their files, all in one place – including documents, images, videos, websites, and audio files.
Filestage boasts users among various brands and agencies, including AB Inbev, LG, Havas, GroupM, and Emirates.
Filestage is presented as ideal for users who create TV ads or social media content. The user can upload a video to share it with clients. Then stakeholders can tap anywhere on the video to pause it and add a comment. So instead of juggling timecodes and long descriptions over email, the whole review and approval process can be seen in one place.
Filestage helps with approval management too. Instead of chasing people over email and managing approvals in a spreadsheet, the user can see the status of files at a glance. With automated reminders to nudge people for approval, users can make sure projects are delivered on time.

We use Filestage to organize, proof, and get approvals for any type of collateral we are producing. It allows us to create pieces from concept to final press-ready mechanicals. Everyone knows at all times where the project is in the process and knows when it is time for them to move forward with their contribution. Everything is documented, so there is never confusion about how we got to the final piece.
- Compares past and present versions.
- Makes commenting easy.
- Easy navigation.
- Alerts can be improved.
- Would love to have this be an application on my desktop so I don't have to go through my browser every time.
- In general, it has saved the company time (which is money) by keeping us organized and having everyone on the same page continuously.

Filestage: The Virtual Tabletop Your Team Needs
Filestage is the best collaboration tool for your team, especially if you have team members working remotely in different locations. It provides what feels like a virtual tabletop situation for everyone to participate in the proofing process for nearly everything, with easy-to-use commenting features and text editing features as well. As a remote copywriter, this has been an essential software that has simplified the editing process immensely.
- The user experience is beautiful and fairly intuitive.
- Filestage allows for easy collaboration on projects.
- Filestage sends helpful notifications about projects when changes are requested.
- The mobile version of the site needs a little fine-tuning.
- The notification system could be a little better.
- I wish you could comment while comparing versions of a document.
- Saves time when proofing and editing work.
- Creates a unified place for feedback from team members.
- Allows all editing and review to happen in one place.
- Allows for versioning and version comparison.

Great, Easy-to-Use Solution for Creative Teams
Filestage is used for our Creative Team to manage projects amongst our writers and graphic designers
- Version control
- Organization of projects
- Collaboration
- Notifications can be buggy
- Google Docs implementation - currently if you use a static Google Doc it doesnt allow you to strike or highlight text like it does with PDFs
- Perhaps not allowing the person who submits a document to also be the reviewer of it
- It has helped us to stay organized and keep on top of our projects
- It has helped to keep everything in one place
- It has helped streamline the review process and get us out of emails
It is more affordable and straightforward than Wrike, though in some areas has less functionality. We found it better because it takes significantly less time to undertand than Wrike and ClickUp do. It's more expensive than ClickUp, but again, the ease of use makes it worthwhile. I feel that Trello is much too simplistic and does not allow for the version control and commenting in the same way.

By far, the Easiest and Most Affordable Proofing Software I've Used in my 12yrs Designing!
Our marketing department uses FileStage as a collaborative proofing platform every day to review design infographics, whitepapers, case studies, social media graphics, newsletters and video. It's also very easy to use with people outside our department and/or organization with a simple email invite. So bringing in new collaborators is a breeze. Filestage gives us a real time platform to proof/review all of our projects in a timely manner, where I control deadlines and reminders. It's made our proofing process very efficient and works wonderfully for a company like ours with offices across the U.S. and Canada.
- Filestage makes it very easy to add new collaborators without any hassle. All you need is their email address and Filestage takes care of the rest.
- Managing who can and cannot see a project is very easy with Filestage. You control when a project gets in front of the right people at the right time.
- Staying organized is a walk in the park when using Filestage. Adding project folders and projects is easy and intuitive.
- I would like to see a little more control over sending reminders to review a project. Maybe a notification to let the level of urgency for a rush job for tight turnarounds would be helpful.
- I would like to have maybe one more level of the folder structure to separate a large group of projects by the user.
- The biggest ROI comes in the form of time. Automatic reminders, and ease of use saves me from micromanaging the process and allows me to tackle other tasks while a project is in review.
Filestage is by far the easiest and most affordable option for our team.
