We fixed the issues we had lately with Google Drive integration. We actually had to re-code that part to work with the latest Google updates. Now it is back online.

The old menus of linking Google Doc / Google Apps Doc files were combined into a single “Link Google Drive Files”.

We updated our rich text editor to work better with IE11. Also, it now preserves the table formatting on paste – it also means you can paste tables from Excel!

Some of our clients asked for an easier way to self-assign projects/tasks they create (right now it takes a couple of clicks). We went ahead and added this as an option to personal “settings” (turned off by default).

We just updated our iPhone app to iOS7.

We also used this opportunity to fix some issues we found and improve it in some places.

We just modified the User Logs to group together events from the same people – it makes it more compact.

Also, now there is a “Restore” link besides the deleted items – so you can restore what you deleted by mistake!

We just upgraded all our standard subscription plans by doubling the disk space quota for almost all of them. Now you can store even more files in your 5pm account without paying extra!
