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

What's new

  • Bigger files. A document in Documents, or a file attached to a message, can now be up to 25 MB, where it was 4 MB. Your documents and the files you send in messages share 500 MB, where documents alone had 50 MB. Both limits are shown beside the upload and under a chosen file.
  • Checked before it opens. A new document or message file shows Scanning… for a few seconds while it is checked for viruses, then becomes a download. A file that fails the check says so, and nobody can open it. Only a document that has passed can be attached to an application.
  • Still private. Files are downloaded only through Rounds, by you, a current collaborator on an application the document is on, or the other person in the conversation. Removing a share, ending a connection or deleting the document stops access straight away.
