GroupDocs was founded in December of 2011. The application has made a positive impression with most users. Some media website have also discussed its benefits, including KillerStartups.com.

GroupDocs manages to outshine many by providing a user friendly drag and drop interface that lets anyone easily manage, organize and make changes to documents and folders. The signature features are another appealing extra that many professionals can benefit from.

GroupDocs has streamlined the registration process to be as pain-free as possible. Users are asked to verify their account by email within 30 days, but this does not have to be done prior to signing in.

The FAQ page does mention that the application is free while it is in beta. New features and service options will be added later, which may come with a fee.
