Teams are Finally Here!

By far, our most-requested feature is finally available! Teams transform GearConnect from a personal tool into a collaborative platform, enabling all your colleagues to work together on projects and library items. Whether you're a small team or a large production company, Teams bring the coordination you've been asking for - with flexible billing and granular permission controls built in.

Introducing Teams

GearConnect now supports true collaboration through Teams. Create a team to share projects and library items with others, control who can view or edit content, and work together easily. Every team has its own space distinct from your personal projects and libraries, allowing clear separation.

Invite Team Members and Assign Roles

Collaboration is all about the right people having the right access. In addition to the Owner, when you invite team members via email, you can assign them one of four distinct roles:
  • Admin: Full team management and billing capabilities, plus access to create and edit content.
  • Billing Manager: Manage team billing without requiring access to projects or libraries. Great for administrative staff.
  • Member: Create and edit team projects and libraries, but without billing or team management access.
  • Guest: Read-only access to team projects and libraries. Perfect for clients or freelancers who need easy access to work without editing rights.
Only pay for Owners, Admins, and Members. For every paid member on your team, you will be able to invite one Guest for no additional cost!

Project Page Redesign with Shared Projects

Your Projects page has been redesigned to show both personal and team projects. Use the new project sidebar to quickly switch between your own projects and any team's projects. Team projects are owned by the team, not by you individually - allowing easy access to everyone on the team.

Shared Team Libraries

Every team gets its own library, separate from your User Library. Team members with editing access (Owner, Admin, or Member) can add and modify gear items in the Team Library, while Guests can view the library items but cannot make changes. Your User Library stays private to you, but you can easily copy items between libraries whenever you want to share them with the group.

Flexible Member Billing That Only Charges for Active Time

We understand that teams can dynamically vary in size, and projects may only last a few days - so we built billing to match. You only pay for the time additional team members are actually active on your team.

Flexible Member Billing (the default) charges you based on how long each member is active, down to the second. Adding a member mid-month? You're charged only for the time they remain on the team. Remove them early? You get a credit for the unused portion. It's perfect for freelancers, contractors, and teams with changing composition. Credits automatically apply to your next invoice.

In addition, pending invites never incur any charges until they're accepted - no wasted money if your team members haven't joined yet.

Fixed Member Billing Option

If you prefer a more typical payment option where you have predictable costs and you'd like to pre-allocate paid members, we offer that too! This is commonly referred to to as seat-based billing, but we call it Fixed Member Billing.

Fixed Member Billing lets you purchase a set number of member seats upfront. Freely add, remove, and change member roles within your purchased capacity with no additional charges. This option is ideal if you want predictable costs and a stable team size. If you exceed your seat capacity, we simply charge you for the extra members.

If you would prefer this option, please reach to support to let us know how many members you would like to add, and we can activate this for your chosen team!

Copy and Move Projects

You can now easily copy or move projects between your personal projects and any team you're a member of. Use the new "Copy / Move Project" button on any project card to duplicate a project (keeping the original) or move it entirely to a new location. Create backups of key projects, or easily transfer between personal and team projects as needed!
