Communicate Overview

Communicate is Smokeball's own messaging platform, and is the best way to securely share confidential information securely with clients. 

Communicate not only offers secure messaging and file sharing, but also helps firm communication with internal channels and matters. On top of this, Smokeball automatically tracks the time you spend using Communicate.
