Team collaboration — resource allocation, contextual chat and files
Coordinate your team in real time, without lost emails. See who has what in flight, discuss right on the task, and keep file versions next to the context.
Most project blockers don't come from execution — they come from communication. 4myprojects puts every conversation, decision, and file where it actually belongs: on the task. @mentions notify instantly, comments stay in history, and files version automatically. Teams stay in sync without extra meetings.
Contextual communication, not another inbox
Comments & @mentions
Discussions right on tasks, with @mentions that notify instantly, threaded sub-conversations, inline attachments and markdown. History lives next to the task — not lost in Slack or Gmail.
Files & documents
Attach documents directly to tasks, version them on every upload, share links with granular permissions. Integrates with Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox — or use native storage.
How to collaborate on tasks in 4myprojects
Assign the task and check capacity
Assign the task to a member from the resource view, where you see everyone’s capacity and workload. Avoid overload before it happens.
Discuss in context with @mentions
Put the question or decision right in the task comments and use @name to instantly notify the right person. The conversation stays next to the context, not in email.
Attach and version files
Upload documents directly to the task; each upload automatically creates a new version. Share links with granular permissions or connect Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.
Pros
- Conversations, decisions, and files live on the task — not lost in Slack or Gmail.
- @mentions with instant notification and threading for sub-conversations.
- Automatic file versioning on every upload, with full history.
- Granular roles and permissions plus external guest invites for clients.
Cons
- Chat is contextual on tasks, not a full Slack replacement for ad-hoc, off-project conversations.
- Real-time collaborative document editing (Google Docs style) is done via external integration, not natively.
- Audio/video calls are not included — you use your existing conferencing tools.
Bottom line
A good fit for teams that want all work-related communication next to tasks, with traceability. Less suited if you want to fully replace a company-wide chat or live document editing.

Frequently asked questions
Where do comments and decisions stay?
On the task itself, in permanent history. They are not lost in Slack or in an email inbox, so anyone who joins the task later sees the full context.
How do @mentions work?
You type @name in a comment and that person gets an instant notification (in-app and by email). Mentions also support threading for sub-conversations.
Can I invite external clients without giving them access to everything?
Yes. You invite external guests with granular permissions limited to the relevant projects or tasks, keeping the rest of the portfolio private.
Are files versioned automatically?
Yes. Each upload of the same file creates a new version with full history, so you can roll back to a previous version anytime.
Does 4myprojects replace the team’s Slack?
Not entirely. Chat is contextual, tied to tasks. For ad-hoc off-project conversations many teams keep Slack and use 4myprojects for work-related communication.
