We at FileCloud have been working on this for a long time, so we\u2019re excited to introduce this new, flexible user experience.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re going to be covering one of the most important visual functionality additions to our new UI: visual and animated cues.<\/p>\n<p>For a comprehensive overview of all FileCloud v20.2 new features, please visit our previous blog post: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filecloud.com\/blog\/2020\/10\/update-20-2-introducing-filecloud-aurora\/#.X6n3e2hKiUk\">Introducing FileCloud! Brand New UI and DRM Capabilities!<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h1>What Are Visual and Animated Cues?<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re all about helping you and your team save time. FileCloud brings workflow efficiency to the next level with tons of quality-of-life updates that help you work faster and better. These cues range from simple color-coding of each separate part of your FileCloud site to help you subconsciously navigate the workspace, with easy-to-recognize icons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also added tons of personalization options for your viewing pleasure; when you spend significant amounts of time within an EFSS solution as part of your work, it\u2019s nice to be able to adjust the environment to suit your preferences \u2014 like decorating your desk at work!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Color Palette \/ Personalization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also completely change the color palette of your workspace using preset themes! Don\u2019t like the default colors? Change them to any hue and varying saturation level through the user settings (provided this customization is enabled by your admin).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are the colors customizable, so is almost everything else on display, including the date format, time format, and language. Of course, FileCloud also boasts our usual branding capabilities, in which admins have even more power to change elements of the workspace, including URL, login background, templates, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Visual Hints, Cues &amp; Animations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned before, there are tons of little cues and hints that we\u2019ve added to FileCloud during the redesign process of the UI. Not only are there now animations for each little action you take with your files, there are also colored visual cues that mark out each separate area of your library.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filecloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/screenshot-visual-hints-1.png\" alt=\"Visual Hints &amp; Animations\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, Team Folders are marked with a dark blue dot in this workspace. Navigating to Team Folders adds a dark blue line across the top of the screen, indicating which area the user is currently in. This means that the more you use Aurora, the easier you\u2019ll find to navigate the workspace. You\u2019ll never need to scrutinize the URL or header to figure out which area you\u2019re viewing \u2014 you\u2019ll subconsciously know!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might seem like a subtle change, but when your team shaves seconds off every action, it adds up to save you and your team tons of time. Thanks for tuning in, and we hope that you\u2019re enjoying our FileCloud 20.2 update!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November 2020, FileCloud released update 20.2 \u2013 a complete overhaul of our Sync, mobile, and browser UI and functionalities.
