Filetopia includes a fully-featured and completely integrated Instant Messenger




You can add any user as a contact, but to receive status updates (i.e. the user is online, away, etc.) your request to follow a specific user must first be approved.

Once you follow someone and they approve you, you will be able to see which of your contacts are online, what status they have, in which room you can find them, etc.  In addition, you will be able to receive a notification alert when they come online (note: only for the contacts you choose to receive alerts for) and you will be able to start a chat with that user or send them an instant message in addition to getting access to their files or inviting them to any room.


You can also set properties for each contact and include them in groups to manage their properties together.


The contacts sidebar, as all sidebars, can hide inside the program, stay open, or float around anywhere.
