Collaboration with other Egnyte users is quick and easy. Anyone with access to a file in Egnyte can collaborate with others that have access by adding messages in the Comments pane of the file. Use Mentions to @name another Egnyte user so the user will be notified with the message content and a link to the file. If you use the Egnyte mobile app for iOS or Android, you can receive instant push notifications when you are mentioned on a file.
