Conferral allows users to send files that are normally too large for the traditional email system.

With Conferral, files of any size can be sent to any recipient without requiring them to install or configure any special software.

Files are transferred directly between your PC and the persons receiving your file. No email gateways or providers are used, as the files you want to send are downloaded directly from your PC to the one of your colleague.

This obviously requires that your PC is online and connected to the Internet for this to happen.

Send files of any type that are too large to be email attachments from the Confer menu in any Microsoft Office application.

A useful addition allows the file sender to know when his recipients have received the files sent via Conferral, without asking them to notify you. It is also possible to set a date in which access to your selected files is terminated.

Conferral lists in the Conference Control Center all of the files sent out. Not only. Conferral takes track of whether the files have been viewed, when (date and time) and how many times by each one of your recipients.

Conferral integrates itself in all of key Microsoft Office applications, thereby providing a handy toolbar to access Conferral key functions from within these applications. Here is the "Send File" command integrated in the Outlook interface.

Cons:

  • Reporting data (e.g.: files sent out report including views and individual recipients) is not exportable.
  • The computer sending the files must be kept online and switched on at all times for files to be effectively delivered.
