Collections: A New Way to Organize
We're introducing Collections, a new feature for flat asset representation that's ideal for sharing with clients and finished projects. Collections can be customized via description and include fine-grained permissions for commenting, downloading, and metadata editing.
Views System Upgrade
The views system has received a major upgrade with significant new capabilities:
Views now function as a collection of metadata attributes in folder view
Folder-aware organization with flatten directories option available in display settings
List view and grid now display selected view metadata attributes
Upload Acceleration & Infrastructure
Upload endpoint acceleration has been added to default and new regions with improved saturation for slow connections (<500Mbps) and significant improvement for fast connections (5Gbps+), resulting in approximately 2× speed improvement overall.
Multi-region support:
us-east (Virginia) — default
us-west (Oregon)
eu-central (Amsterdam)
ap-southeast (Singapore)
Contact support for current region selection; UI support coming soon.
ShadeFS Sync Improvements
Multiple edge case fixes for syncing functionality have been implemented to improve reliability and consistency across your drives
