\"\"<\/p>\n

FileCloud Version 21.1 was designed to help you get your work done more quickly and more efficiently. Version 21.1 is 66% faster than the previous version, handles higher loads, and is more extensible. In addition, to meet\u00a0 VPAT Guideline 2.1<\/a>, all functionality is available through keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Version 21.1 also introduces a number of enhancements and new features that make your work easier and expand your options.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at some of these new capabilities now.<\/p>\n

Updated User Interface for FileCloud Drive<\/h2>\n

FileCloud Drive<\/a> is FileCloud\u2019s client application that lets you access files in the server the same way you access them in Windows. With Version 21.1, Drive not only has a new, simpler user interface but also a new log-in wizard that makes it easy to set up and change your Drive configuration.<\/p>\n

The new Drive dashboard makes it easy to view live actions, past activity, and settings. It also makes it \u00a0simple to open file explorer and perform searches.<\/p>\n

Role-based Admin Users (Promoted Admins)<\/h2>\n

In FileCloud, admin users (promoted admins) are users who have been given any number of admin privileges. Admin users can log into the Admin portal and execute any of the operations they have permission to perform.<\/p>\n

Up until now, each admin user was directly assigned permissions to general areas of the system, such as Users and Device Management. With FileCloud Version 21.1, admin roles are created and given read, create, update, and\/or delete permissions to each area. Then admin users are assigned to these roles, making it easy for you to give the same permissions to multiple users.<\/p>\n

See Manage Admin Users for more information.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Office Sensitivity Metadata<\/h2>\n

Microsoft Office provides sensitivity labels that users can apply to files to indicate the type of information they contain (for example,\u00a0Public<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Confidential<\/em>).\u00a0 FileCloud now automatically extracts this data with other Microsoft Office Tag metadata.
\nNote: Office Sensitivity Metadata must be configured in your system for extraction to be successful.<\/p>\n

ServerLink Enhancements<\/h2>\n

ServerLink, FileCloud\u2019s tool for replicating changes between an organization\u2019s primary and secondary servers, has been upgraded to include a new Fast mode, more frequent error alerts, and more detailed information.<\/p>\n
