Security Advisories


Upgrade to access new and enhanced features. Here are some highlights of the release:

  • Zero Trust File SharingSM - The FileCloud user portal now supports creating, opening, viewing, and, with permission, adding and deleting files from a zip file. Users may also password-protect zip files created in FileCloud to secure them as Zero Trust folders.
  • Hijri calendar support- FileCloud now supports displaying dates in Hijri format in the user portal and in FileCloud Drive.
  • AutoCAD viewer - Support for integrating with Autodesk Viewer for previewing AutoCAD files has been added.
  • Updated Team Folders UI - In the admin portal, the Team Folders screen and setup process have been simplified to make it easier to manage and create Team Folders. Other enhancements to Team Folders include recovery of deleted Team Folder files in the admin portal, and the ability to drag and drop files from file explorer or another application to a Team Folder in the admin portal or user portal. 
  • Two-factor authentication enhancements - The 2FA login process has been streamlined for TOTP and SMS. New external TOTP users, TOTP users who have not yet installed a TOTP authenticator app, and new SMS users have an updated interface with fewer screens and entries.


Zero Trust File SharingSM

The user portal now supports creating zip files, previewing and downloading the contents of zip files, and, if a user has write permission, adding and deleting contents from them. In addition, users can password protect zip files to create them as Zero Trust folders. Once files are encrypted and stored in this manner, the decryption key is unknown even to the FileCloud system and therefore not vulnerable to attacks.

Note that previewing is only available for jpg, png, pdf, txt, docx, pptx, and xlsx files.

Hijri calendar support

FileCloud now supports displaying dates in Hijri format.

To display dates in Hijri format in the FileCloud user portal as well as FileCloud Drive, in the admin portal, go to Settings > Misc > General and change Calendar Type from the default of Gregorian (English) to Hijri.



When you select Hijri, the options for Date Format and Time Format also change and are set to the defaults for Hijri. You may reset these values as well. Users may override any of these settings through the Settings screen in the user portal.


Note that the date format in the admin portal and in email notifications does not change.

AutoCAD viewer

Users are now able to preview AutoCAD files in the user portal using Autodesk Viewer. 

In order to enable this feature, admins are required to set up integration of FileCloud and Autodesk Viewer in both applications. See Setting Up AutoCAD File Preview with Autodesk Viewer for instructions.

Once integrated, when a user previews an AutoCAD file, it appears in Autodesk's Viewer:

Updated Team Folders user interface

Team folders have been updated to make it easier to create Team Folders and add contents to them. 

  • The first time admins enter the Team Folders screen, they can click a button to open a wizard that guides them through a simple process for setting up Team Folders.

  • The Team Folders interface in the admin portal has been updated to function similarly to the file folders interface in the user portal. Hovering over a Team Folder brings up a similar list of icons which users can click to perform shares and other actions on the folders, and actions that do not fit on the icon tray appear in a context menu accessed by clicking the More icon.
     
  • Files can now be dragged and dropped into a Team Folder in either the admin portal or the user portal by opening the folder and dragging the files into it.
  • Files deleted from a Team Folder in the user portal or in the admin portal can now be restored by an admin from the Deleted Files folder for the Team Folder. 
  • In addition, multiple files can now be added simultaneously to a Team Folder, and bulk actions can be performed on Team Folders.

Two-factor authentication enhancements

The user interfaces for logging in with two-factor authentication using TOTP and SMS have been streamlined.

After TOTP users download an authenticator app, they can scan a QR code and enter the verification code in the same screen. The interface has been further streamlined for new external users logging in with TOTP to require fewer steps when confirming their new account, scanning the QR code, and entering the verification code.


New SMS users can now enter their phone number, click Send Code, and enter their verification code in the same screen.






UI Changes in FileCloud 22.1

User Portal

  • Calendar Type - The Settings page now has a setting for choosing Calendar Type. Choices are Gregorian (default) and Hijri as described above under Hijri calendar support
  • Preview screen - The previewed file can be edited with the same Web edit/Office Online and Edit in Desktop applications that are available for editing the file from the file listing.

  • View options - In the main file listings, the list view/grid view toggle button has been replaced with options for list view, small grid view, medium grid view, and large grid view:

  • In the Add Files and Folders drop-down list, users now have an option to create a Zip file. See Zip file support, above for details.

Admin Portal

  • Max File Size Limit - In Settings > Policies, the User Policy tab of the Policy Settings dialog box now allows admins to set a maximum upload size. By default, the limit does not apply to uploads in Sync, Drive, and other non-web clients, but a setting is available for enforcing the limit in these clients.

  • Multiple file/folder selection - Multiple files and folders may now be selected in the admin portal.
  • Calendar Type - Settings > Misc > General now has a setting for choosing Calendar Type. Choices are Gregorian (English) (default) and Hijri, as described above under Hijri calendar support.
  • Account Locked checkbox - In the user details window, the Account Locked checkbox, which was only shown when an account was locked, now always appears. Admins can uncheck the box to unlock locked accounts of users with AD credentials or regular credentials.

  • DLP  - Smart DLP has the following new conditions:
    • filename contains is now included for downloads in the Rule Expression Builder. The condition can be used to return files with a specific string in their filename.
    • _share.onlyAllowedEmails is now included for shares in the Rule Expression Builder. The condition can be used to only allow shares with users whose emails are in the specified list.
  • Sync - In the admin portal's Device Management screen, admins can now select Sync devices and click the Command button to open a Send Config Command screen and enter the xml <cloudsync><refreshsync>1</refreshsync></cloudsync> to refresh Sync without changing the Sync configuration.

  • Reports - Due to updates to permissions, admin users may no longer have access to view and run certain reports. The admin dashboard no longer displays reports that the logged-in admin user does not have access to.
  • Users - Limited users are now referred to as External users.

  • User details - Now there is a reset button for Last Login. Admins can click the reset button to clear the user's Last Login date. When the system sees a cleared Last Login date, it treats the user as if they have never logged in.

  • SIEM - A new LEEF Message Delimiter field now appears in Settings > Third Party Integrations > SIEM when users choose LEEF as the SIEM Message Format.  The LEEF Message Delimiter field enables users to choose the correct delimiter for their SIEM tool.
  • Licenses - For SPLA licenses the number of all licenses is now shown as Base instead of Total to reduce confusion if Used licenses exceed the number of Base licenses.

  • Max File Size Limit (Network Folders) - In Settings > Storage > Network, a Max File Size Limit setting now enables admins to set a maximum size for network shares. By default, the limit does not apply to uploads in Sync, Drive, and other non-web clients, but a setting is available for enforcing the limit in these clients.

Client Apps

  • Sync - A Refresh Now option has been added to the Help page of the Sync Dashboard to enable users to clear their Sync database and sync again.

Upgrade FileCloud Server on Linux

Information for Admins

  • Once FileCloud upgrade is complete, refresh the browser using CTRL-F5 to clear any prior setup information from the cache.
  • If your installation of FileCloud uses admin portal user access restrictions, please see Restricting Access To Admin UI Based On IP Addresses for updated instructions.
  • FileCloud support is ending for Windows Server 2012 R2 with this release.
    If you are using Cloud Enterprise Server and Windows 2012, please migrate your FileCloud site to Windows 2016 or 2019.
  • FileCloud support is ending for Debian with this release.
    If you are using Debian, we recommend installing FileCloud in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or migrating your existing installation to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
  • Instructions for installing and updating FileCloud on all Linux distros have changed. Please do not use previous instructions, but follow those at:
    Installation of FileCloud on Linux Using the Repository and Upgrade FileCloud on Linux.
  • In this release, to mount new Network Folders or to change the mount path of existing Network Folders, a setting for enabling Network Folders must be set to true. Network Folders created prior to this release remain active. In addition, a setting for blocking paths from configuration as Network Folders has been added. By default C:/xampp and c$/xampp are included on this block list for Windows and /var/www/html is included for Linux, but additional paths may be added.  See  Create a LAN-Based Network Folder for more information.
  • If you are working in a Linux environment, the logs for a file integrity check workflow may indicate that the workflow cannot detect the file type (and therefore cannot perform the integrity check), if there is an issue with the locale settings. Run the following commands to fix this:
    rm -f /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
    locale-gen --no-archive
    locale-gen --no-archive en_US.utf8

    If you are using any additional locale settings (for example ru_RU.utf8), run:

    locale-gen --no-archive ru_RU.utf8

    Note: It is important that you include the --no-archive flag.

  • The instructions for updating OCR on Ubuntu have changed. See Enabling Solr OCR.
  • To improve security, to initially access the API, you must now change the default API key. If you do not change it, when you enter a command to call the API, an error is returned.
    Note: You are only required to change the default API key initially; after that, you can continue to use the new key you entered.
  • The Windows Update Tool sets the following files back to their defaults. If you have added custom configurations, you must add them back in after update:
    xampp\htdocs\.htaccess
    xampp\php\php.ini
    xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
    xampp\htdocs\src\Scripts\config\default.json
    xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf

  • In order for a DLP rule using Request country equals (country code) to function, you must have the admin setting Show Geo IP Chart set to True. Now when you choose the condition, a pop-up notification reminds you to enable the Geo IP chart setting.
  • When you are running FileCloud Sync in Advanced Offline Sync mode using a local to remote sync, files that are deleted locally are no longer deleted remotely during sync. 
  • Permissions for reports have been updated so that users can only run and view reports they have the correct RBAC permissions for viewing. Therefore, some promoted admin users will lose access to reports that they have been able to view and run in previous versions.
  • To integrate FileCloud with Autodesk Viewer go to Setting Up AutoCAD File Preview with Autodesk Viewer.
  • The following information and workaround may help resolve failed SSO logins for members of AD limit groups:


    During login with SAML SSO for a member of an AD limit group, FileCloud checks the login user's FileCloud Group name to see if they are a member of the limit group; however, Azure AD cannot send the Group name so login fails. Azure AD can send the Group ID to FileCloud, which can be used instead. To do this, save the Group ID in the SAML Settings in FileCloud, and add a custom claim parameter in Azure AD that sends the Group ID value when a member of the AD limit groups logs in with SAML SSO, so the two Group ID values can be matched, and log in is permitted.

    To get the group's Group ID (also called the Object ID), in Azure AD:
      1. Log in to the the Azure Portal Dashboard, and click Azure Active Directory.
      2. Click Groups, and then click the Group to limit the login to.
      3. Open the Overview screen for the group and locate the Object ID field:

        In FileCloud, go to SAML Settings, and in Limit Login to Idp Group, enter the Object Id.
      4. Then, in Azure AD, go to the Enterprise Applications screen, and choose the FileCloud application.
      5. In the navigation pane, click Single sign-on.
      6. Scroll down to Attributes & Claims and click Edit.
      7. Click Add a group claim.
        A Group Claims form opens in the right panel.
      8. In Source attribute, choose Group ID.
      9. Check Customize the name of the group claim.
      10. In Name, enter memberof, and in Value, enter user.groups (which is equal to Object Id).

        Now memberof will be sent to FileCloud with the value of the user group, and when FileCloud compares it with the Idp Group, the values match, so FileCloud will allow the login.
      11. For ADFS, add an additional claim parameter (Token-Groups - Unqualified Names > memberof) during ADFS configuration.
  • Users may need to be aware of the following limitation of direct links:
    For Team Folders, direct links to files in sub-folders that are created by users who have access to the parent folder and sub-folder will not work for users who only have access to the sub-folder, because the links will include the parent folder path, which does not exist in the file structure of those users. 
  • Users should be informed that FileCloud no longer supports editing .doc, .xls, and .ppt files in Web Edit; instead, Office files must be in .docx, .xlsx, or .pptx format to be editable in Web Edit. In Desktop Edit, users may still edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files.
  • Files opened in Drive appeared empty when the users roaming profile was redirected using FSLogix (FSLogix Overview - FSLogix | Microsoft Learn). A work-around for this issue is configuring Drive to store its cache folder so that it is not redirected via FSLogix.
