Let’s take a closer look at what Single Wrench has to offer.

Walkthroughs

Before I even get deep into the features, I wanted to just hit on something really quick.  One of the things about Single Wrench that really stands out to me is how almost every process has a walkthrough of some sort.  These aren’t just two sentence walkthroughs.  They are extremely thorough and many of them are video walkthroughs.  Just about everything I will cover is very user friendly and easy to use.  There is no need to be a techie to use this product, and I think that is one of the biggest strengths this product has.

Uploading

Single Wrench makes uploading and sharing extremely easy.  There are two reasons behind this.  It is browser based, so there is nothing to install and can be accessed anywhere, and it is amazingly simple.  If you have ever moved a file to another folder in Windows, then you can upload files using Single Wrench.  Just drag and drop the files into the window.  Then, click the Start button.

Browsing your files looks just like Windows Explorer.  This makes it extremely easy to get around and find the files you want.  There are also previews of the files or pictures.  This is a great feature, because if you didn’t take the time to label all of your pictures perfectly, you can still find the ones you want.

Sharing

Single Wrench makes sharing easy and productive.  In order to share, you just add your contacts and allow them to upload files to you or select them to share with.  One of the best features on Single Wrench is the ability to send and receive emails when you share something.  This takes out any guess work or additional emailing you had to do in the past.  Emailing the person you shared something with is just a part of the process.

Management

The Group and Enterprise editions come with some great administrative features that make it much easier to manage all of your data.  You can log in to any of the user accounts for better training or troubleshooting.  You can also set storage quotas for each account in order to keep your budget where you need it.

There is also a search feature that allows you to completely search across all of the accounts to find the files you want.  As the manager, you will receive email notifications to let you know of any problems arising from users, so you can deal with them quickly and efficiently.

Conclusion

If you have been using FTP and are looking for an alternative, Single Wrench has proved to me to be easy to use and a cost effective alternative.  I recommend that everyone should at least go check out their 30 day trial.  If you are interested after the trial, don’t forget the promo code LIT to get a permanent 20% off your monthly bill.  Go check out Single Wrench today!
