Updates to FileCloud Desktop & Drive | 

FileCloud continues to evolve, releasing new features and functionalities that help our users get work done. We also strive to continuously improve existing software, to provide a smooth and efficient experience.

The recent releases of FileCloud Desktop for macOS (version 23.232.6) and FileCloud Drive (version 23.232.1.8773) offer a host of enhancements and bug fixes to enhance usability and reliability.

We are particularly thankful to our clients and end-users who participated in beta testing FileCloud Desktop for macOS prior to the grand reveal. Our goal is to publish the best quality software we can; with your help, we can confidently roll out FileCloud Desktop, so all our macOS users can experience this all-in-one client.

Without further ado, let's dive into the details!

FileCloud Desktop for macOS (Version 23.232.6)

FileCloud Desktop (FCD) is an all-in-one client application that supports anywhere-anytime file access and synchronization, directly from the user’s desktop. Additionally, FCD makes content stored in FileCloud available as a local mapped folder directory location for easy, offline access.

FileCloud Desktop Enhancements

Revamped Dashboard Interface:
The dashboard has undergone a makeover, sporting a fresh new look that enhances user experience. We also added a "Send Feedback" link, enabling users to return comments and suggestions directly from the interface. This fosters a more collaborative environment where user feedback plays a crucial role in shaping future updates.

Clarified Settings Tab:
FileCloud for Office (our Microsoft Office integration) can be enabled within the FCD client; we have updated the wording for this setting to avoid confusion. Now it reads, "FileCloud for Office Integration." Users can toggle the setting to activate FileCloud for Office (the default state will be inactive).

Optimized Sync Indicator:

Keeping track of file synchronization status is now more visual and informative. The menu bar icon now features a circle with rotating arrows when FileCloud Desktop is actively syncing data, providing users with clear feedback on the sync process.

FileCloud Drive (Version 23.232.1.8773)

FileCloud Drive is a client application that allows users to access their stored files in FileCloud by creating a virtual directory. With connection to a network, users can work online or offline, without needing to manually sync changes.
