Option to Lock files from deletion

Would be nice to have the ability to lock a file so that only the uploader can move/delete it. If locking it to the uploader is too difficult, just having the extra step to delete certain very important files would insure it won't get accidentally deleted by other users simply trying to housekeep in a folder.

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll add that to the list, but I did want to point out a few other things that can be of some help while you wait.
Files cannot really be deleted directly; they can only be removed from a Review (using the "delete" menu item), which marks them for deletion. If the deletion is discovered soon, an email to us at support@syncsketch.com can restore it, complete with its annotations.
You can move an item to a separate review and lock that review from the review header (see screenshot). This will prevent the clip from being deleted.
Finally, we've just introduced a new Copy ("Add To") feature that can be used to put a copy of the clip in a "backup" Review, and the copy will not count against your storage usage. Doing so will prevent the clip from being deleted fully no matter how much later the erroneous deletion is discovered. This is because all instances of a clip must be removed from all Reviews before a clip can be fully deleted.
