Cloud Chat by MyCloudSuites
Cloud Chat is in beta: it works, it’s free, and it’s updated often while we finish it. Tell us what you find.
Channels for the office and the crew, a channel for every job, and direct messages, all in the MyCloudSuites account your people already use for Cloud Books and Cloud Time.
In the browser on a computer or a phone. Free. Everybody signs in with their own MyCloudSuites account.
The same company, people and jobs as your other MyCloudSuites apps.
Everyone in the company is in #general. Make a channel for the office, the shop or the trucks, and keep a private one for the people who need it.
Pick a job from Cloud Books or Cloud Time and choose Start a channel. The crew and the office keep the job’s talk in one place.
Write to one person or a small group. Only the people in a direct message can read it, and that includes the company’s owners.
Answer a message in a thread so the channel stays readable. React with a thumbs-up instead of another “ok”, and @mention someone so they see it.
Attach a file from your MyCloudSuites files. The people in the conversation open it with one click, and it stays in your files.
Search every message and file name you can read. Nothing is hidden after a few months.

News, reminders and questions for everyone. New people are in it the moment they join the company.
Direct messages stay between the people in them. Start one from the company’s people, or, in Personal, with anyone by email.
The same channels and messages in the phone’s browser: the list, then the conversation, then a thread, one at a time.
If your company is in Cloud Books or Cloud Time, it’s already set up.
Sign in with your MyCloudSuites account. Your company is on the left, with #general ready.
Everyone your company has in Cloud Books or Cloud Time with an account is in #general already.
Choose + beside Jobs, pick the job, and choose Start a channel.
Turn on notifications to hear about direct messages and mentions while Cloud Chat is open.
One free account for every app, on your computer and in your browser.
Yes. Channels, direct messages, threads, search and your whole history are free, for any number of people. Files you share stay in your own MyCloudSuites files.
Cloud Chat works today, and we’re still changing it often. If something isn’t right, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Everyone your company has in Cloud Books or Cloud Time who has a MyCloudSuites account. When someone leaves the company there, they leave its chat too. Their messages stay with the company.
No. Only the people in a direct message can read it. The company’s owners and admins can’t, and neither can MyCloudSuites staff, unless someone reports a message to us.
Yes, in Personal. Start a conversation with anyone by email. They see it when they open Cloud Chat with that address, and we never say whether an address has an account.
Not yet. Cloud Chat runs in the browser on any phone or computer today, and apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android are on the way.
Free, in the browser on any phone or computer.
