January Update: Sign in with Google, Domain Auto-Join, and a Refined Experience

Nobody wakes up excited to create another password. You already have dozens. Maybe hundreds. Each one slightly different because some website demanded a special character and now you can't remember if it was an exclamation point or an ampersand.

We get it. So we fixed it.

Sign In With Google and Microsoft

Now you can skip the whole password ritual entirely. Click "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Microsoft," and you're in. That's the whole process. Your work account becomes your Hirosend login, and you never have to think about it again.

Already have a Hirosend account with a password? No problem. Head to your settings, link your Google or Microsoft account, and use whichever method feels right in the moment. Password today, Google tomorrow. It just works.

Less friction to get started means more time actually doing the thing you came here to do: share files securely without the usual hassle.

Teams That Build Themselves

Here's a familiar scene: You're onboarding a new team member. You send them an invitation. They don't see it. You resend it. They click the wrong link. You troubleshoot. Eventually they're in, but you've lost twenty minutes you'll never get back.

We built something better.

Team admins can now add allowed domains to their team settings. Add @yourcompany.com, and anyone who signs up with that email domain automatically joins your team. No invitation to send. No link to click. No "did you get my email?" conversations.

The magic really happens when you combine this with OAuth. New hire shows up, clicks "Sign in with Google," authenticates with their work email, and they're on the team instantly. One click from new employee to full team member with access to everything they need.

It's the kind of automation that makes you wonder why onboarding was ever complicated in the first place.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

We've been refining things. The Hirosend logo got a refresh: cleaner lines, more distinctive at every size, and just... better. You'll see it everywhere, from the app to your share pages.

But it's not just the logo. We've been polishing the interface throughout. Tighter layouts. More consistent spacing. The kind of subtle improvements that individually seem small but collectively make everything feel more intentional. Nothing dramatic, just that satisfying feeling when things line up the way they should.

What It All Means

These updates weren't random. They're all about removing friction.

OAuth removes the friction of passwords. Domain auto-join removes the friction of team management. The UI refinements remove the friction of... well, using software that doesn't quite feel finished.

For individuals, getting started is now effortless. For teams, onboarding becomes something that mostly takes care of itself. And for everyone, using Hirosend should feel just a little bit better than it did before.

What's Next

We're just getting warmed up for 2026. More improvements are coming. More ways to make secure file sharing feel less like a chore and more like something that just works.

In the meantime, try the new sign-in options. If you're running a team, play with the domain settings. And if you notice the interface feels smoother, well, that's the idea.

Secure file sharing, now with less getting in your way.
