The download files should have the name of the form included. The present numeric soup is frustrating to navigate.

This is a wonderful service and your staff is very responsive through the chat. My one suggestion is that there be an added sentence to your instructions that sates that once you upload there is nothing more to do as in a "submit" or "Finished uploading" button. After uploading instinct says there is something to click to let you all know that we have finished with our uploads.
Your feedback is valuable to us and helps us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

From uploading the initial file to deeds.com, to having a fully recorded document was right on one hour - and all from the comfort of my home.
