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
