I found a toll that suits all my needs
A lot of work made simpler. The best way I've found so far to manage projects and supervise students.
PROSSimply put, SquidHub saves me the time I would waste in the endless search for the best project management / self-organization tool. With SquidHub I found a single place for managing everything I need. By turning different activities of my work and personal life into a SquidHub project, I can manage each in a simple, stress-free way. The efficient layout of SquidHub addresses all my needs for document organization and time-tracking. The result is that I made it my only platform for managing projects and to cooperate with partners. Besides, SquidHub turned out to be an awesome tool to interact with students and supervise their work!
CONSSometimes it's tricky to move around objects in the files & links section, and the chat tool is somehow limited.

A Great Communication Tool for Teams (and yes even project management)
Ok I know I wrote lots of Cons but it is because I really like SquitHub and want them to see this and get the little bugs/subtle feature requests worked out.
PROSJust the essentials! Out of all the project management tools or communication tools we have used we use todos, chat, and files. We sometimes attempt using other features but we usually abandon them quickly so it is wonderful to have just what we need and all right there on one screen. I also love that it is mostly keyboard-based.
CONSLoads slowly, I only have 8 Groups (most are empty) and when I first load it up it takes quite a while. It takes especially long when opening the mobile app and no indication of loading... just a mostly blank screen. While the keyboard-based features are nice I wish it was more. You also have to often jump to your arrow keys while typing to add categories or assign todo to people. A lot of inconsistencies to where sometimes things work one way e.g. you can just start typing the name of a file and once it is at the top you hit tab and it automatically adds it which is AWESOME it works the same with assignees or categories yet on those tab will not work you have to actually still select it or arrow down to which assignee or category you want. Even if you type out the whole name or category you still have to select it somehow to get it to add it. In the notification Icon, I get notified about things that I did (not sure why I need to be notified of todos that I added and assigned to someone else?) and no way of dismissing them or marking them as read.
Reason for choosing SquidHub
simplicity, was the best fit for my team and how we work.
Reasons for switching to SquidHub
Freedcamp's UI and UX were so painful and slow and hard that it was always a downer anytime I went in there to manage projects.

SquidHub for Small Team Collaboration
Being the CEO of our small business, I somehow forced my management team to switch to SquidHub from an amalgamation of WhatsApp and emails.
PROSWe use SquidHub on both iOS, Android as well as its online access through Chrome for use on PC. The interface is quite simple and user-friendly. Splitting various projects into groups and splitting into tasks and sub-tasks is quite intuitive. Assigning roles and responsibilities is also quite easy. The best feature is the integration of meetings into the google calendar.
CONSThe "Files & Links" section appears to be redundant as it appears to be just a hole where you can randomly stuff in various files without any order or an organized retrieval system. Plus there is no recognizable system on how to tag or call out these files/links from the "To Do" or "Messages" panel. SquidHub Team may also look into the possibility of tagging/calling-out the members in the "Messages" panel, that would add a WhatsApp/WeChat like functionality to its communication. Plus there might be a

A must have for work teams
It is a must in our day to day work. I have personally used other chat services in the past and this is by far the best of all.
PROSEverything. It has everything you might need to work with several teams and the price is just right. It took us a while to find the perfect tool for our team and we don't even remember how we ended up with Squidhub. We are glad we did !!! Is such an easy tool that now we can't live without out. We use it every single day, 24/7. The customer service is amazing, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is super responsive and it's always looking out for feedback to improve the product.
CONSWe had a weird week where the system was completely down, which seriously affected our way of working during that time. However, we love this product so much that we managed that week and decided to stick with it until the problem was resolved. Since then, no problems at all!! There have been times when we wish it has more capabilities but like I said, the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is always looking for ways to make it better and more robust.

Great to-do and sharing of documents
Very good, it allows me to share documents, to-do lists and chat with a larger group of people in an organized way - if you do this in other apps, it becomes very complicated very fast, but not with SquidHub :)
PROSI really like the to-do functionality, I use it for grocery shopping and share it with my girlfriend so we can each add items and see what we need. I also use it for planning and sharing documents with my sports team, it's a great app :)
CONSWhen you start using the app for the first time, you have to get into how it's setup to fully understand all of the functionalities, but now I find it very easy and user-friendly.

Overall easy to use with nice design that really helps to keep track
Better assembly of all documents to make sure we don't have info scattered across the internet.
PROSMost is actually the use of links that will otherwise drown in other solutions. Integration with Drive also works very well.
CONSSometimes assigning a team member to a task can be a bit glitchy, and besides that it can be hard to know how to rename folder or delete it
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review. A major upgrade of the todo list (including assigning members) are being released in Q2 this year. Improvements on how to rename/delete files are being released in Q3 this year.

Squidhub is awesome for scouting!
Very good. Any issues were resolved fast. Very easy for people to learn and move fast.
PROSMost teams need very few things to be really collaborative. They need to see tasks. They need to collaborate on files and they need a centralized area for chat that can be reviewed. Squidhub does these great. Squidhub is also very intuitive allowing the users to work on collaboration rather than having to learn the collaboration tool.
CONSI would drive for more 3rd party integrations

Smooth and never had problems.
All in one centralization of several other services. The to-do board is not equivalent to the usability of Trello though.
PROSThe integration with google drive is magnificent. The fact that it is instantly shared to all group members make group presentations a piece of cake + whenever you have notes to be written and shared this eases the process compared to retrieving the google link and then sharing it through social media etc.
CONSSlightly challenging to rename folders. Lack of shortcut to add all members of a group to a meeting. Can't integrate my moodle calendar of courses into the squidhub calendar. That when you click calendar, you can't click the same button to go back to your recent position.

Squidhub helps getting an easy overview of group participants and files shared for projects
It is easy to navigate the files, and organise them in a meaningful way. Also the ability to uploade any kind of file is positive
CONSThere are some problems when using the mobile application. Especially when uploading multiple images or files at once.
Vendor Response
Thanks a lot for the review. The mobile applications received a major make-over and improvements in December 2017 and January 2018. However, be informed that uploading multiple images at once from the mobile device will first be prioritized in the second half of 2018. Since you've only given the functionality 2/5 stars, we're interesting in understanding what more you'd expect to see inside the product. Feel free to reach out to support@squidhub.com.

A game-changer
Overall I've found it a simple but helpful service, especially for organizing personal things (keeping track of 'honey-dos') and project management at work.
PROSThis has made it much easier to organize documents to share with my partner, but more importantly, it simply gives a great overview of my important documents and puts them where I can quickly access them.
CONSI find it difficult to delete folders and documents. I have never used the chat function.

Simple and easy to use
SquidHub has made group work with other students so much easier, since it is simple and easy to use without having an unnecessarily large amount of features.
PROSBoth the browser and the app version of SquidHub is very easy to use and has just the right amount of features needed for conducting simple group work.

Almost Perfect
It's just simple and ready to use. On Trello I spend a lot of time twaking the board. I love the calendar's integration and the files on a different row. On Trello, archives are always attached to the cards. I love the design, not only the layout and workflow, but the details too.
CONSI think that the messaging row do not offer anything different from my WhatsApp's groups. Wpp is more fast and everybody uses it. I would like more if the messages were more like a forum, with threads. I also miss a simple text editor or note tasking with markdown, but note attached to the to do lists. It could be created like a simple doc, but more simple, fast and integrated with SquidHub.

Great tool to manage projects and groups
Managing projects and tasks is way easier with squidhub and is simple enough while still providing real value, (there is a fine balance between the right functionality and too much functionality).
PROSIts not too complicated to use, and is super easy to setup.
CONSAt certain times (mostly in the past) it has felt a little buggy. However this is usually just a little thing like things that dont align correctly in the UI and such.
