About

Glass Desktop Box is Windows software for organizing local files in visual workspaces and sharing selected files or folders. Users arrange items in customizable Desktop Boxes, create tabs and folder links, add notes, and choose static or animated backgrounds. A Windows host can invite colleagues, clients, or friends to access a shared workspace or exchange files through a browser link; guests can upload and download without installing the desktop app or creating an account. Transfers use a direct peer-to-peer connection when possible, with a relay fallback, and shared files are not kept in permanent cloud storage. PIN-protected access and live chat are available during sharing. The software serves individuals and teams that want to organize projects locally while sharing files across devices. The host application runs on Windows; recipients can join using browsers on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, or Android.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Have been using it since 3-4 yrs , very satisfied , saves tons of efforts in organizing windows on multi monitor setup
  • It works extremely well, is easy to run, opens the programs I need open, opens the files I need within the programs, and places windows where I want them.
  • It does as advertised. It's pretty cool and it's the only software I know of that does this. You can save a lot of profiles.
  • I really like my windows to be a certain size and in certain places when I work. I feel that I am more productive that way. But the challenge is that I do more than just work on my laptop. I am involved with volunteer organizations. But SmartWindows helps me achieve this very easily. Easy to use and has the feature set I need.

Cons

  • sometimes glitches during the first setup , but once done all good
  • Depending on how many windows you need opened and moved it can take a while to run. Just go refill your coffee and it will be done when you get back.
  • It crashes, or doesn't work at times. The UI is not intuitive. And sometimes it seems to forget your profiles.
  • It would be good if one could select different monitors for different profiles as well as configure the windows. This way, a laptop that is used at home and at work will be amazing! (since the monitors are not always the same).
