• Limitations of Lite version •
Following user feedback, we're now much more generous with the free Lite version. Every single feature now works in the free version with the exception of browsing for files (you can see a demo of that feature).
We hope that file browsing is useful enough that you'll pay for the full version. We get to make a living, you get to stay on the sofa when you pick a new file!
