Rounds messages carry files and grants, and contacts find colleagues - Product News

Rounds messages can carry a file or a grant, your connections have a page of their own, and you can find colleagues by the email addresses you already have.

Rounds is the community app, separate from Backed's grant management, so this has no Help Centre article.

What's new

  • Send a file in a message. Attach a PDF, a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, a picture, or a text or CSV file of up to 4 MB. Each file is checked for viruses before it is sent, and only the two of you can download it. A conversation's options list every file shared in it.
  • Share a grant. Send an open grant into a conversation from its options, or from a grant's page with Share in a message. The card always shows the grant as the directory has it now.
  • Your connections. Open contacts in Messages goes to your connections, where you can search them, start a conversation or disconnect.
  • Find colleagues by email. On Find colleagues, paste the addresses you have, or choose them from your phone's contacts where your browser allows it. You see which belong to members who chose to be found by email, and you can invite the rest with your invite link. Rounds keeps none of the addresses.
  • Choose whether you can be found. Let colleagues find me by email is in Settings, under Privacy. It is off unless you turn it on.

Audio and video calls and the calendar are still marked Soon.
