- Version rollback // snapshots // drive history. This allows the ability to mount a read only version of your drive at any arbitrary historical timestamp and access the files from that timestamp. This means files from a deletion or a prior version can be recovered.

v2.2.29

**Lorem Ipsum** is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

New uploader experience

- The new uploader is substantially faster for lots of smaller files and vastly more stable on slow internets. It maintains the ability to saturate high bandwidth connections.

- The background color for videos can now be changed to white

- Fixed an issue that made the desktop app occasionally require the deletion of an empty mounted drive folder when mounting

- Platform storage calculations should no longer lag behind actual storage

- Fixed an issue causing some searches to return poor results

- Fixed an issue that could cause the “Join shared cache” modal to stay open after hitting join

- Can now airplay when a device to airplay to is on your network

## ShadeFS

- Much faster syncing and removal of freezing when lots of people are working concurrently on the mount

- Fixes for contractor role // subdrives

- Depending on some user’s sharing setups, contractors could see unexpectedly few items due to a least inheritance policy which has now been changed
- Bugfix: In some cases, adding files to a subdrive wouldn't get synced

- The windows app will now throw an error on mount if there are files in mount’s `C:\\Volumes\\<mount name>` directory

- If the cache location is set to a non APFS drive on macos or a non NTFS drive on windows, a warning dialogue will now appear

## Platform

- Duplicate detection! When two assets are uploaded with matching contents, the assets with matching contents will be displayed in the new duplicates tab. Assets can then be managed and deleted from there. **Detection will only be run for assets on a going-forward basis. Existing assets will not be checked for duplicates.**

- Proxies will now skip unsupported audio codecs rather than fail when multistream

- Fixes around single asset in stack if a user corrupts the stack by moving assets in the mount

- Much lower latencies for some API endpoints and actions in the app

- Bulk metadata updates are much faster

## ShadeFS

- Fixed crash when reading files from the mount that were being streamed in

- Fixed crash during unmounting

- Fixed crash in TransfersManager (uploader) happening when uploading a blob that’s not fully cached

## Feature Friday 09/01/26 (v2.3.4)

#### Platform

- General UI overhaul. More streamlined left sidebar and new location for mounting drives

- Folder templates. Folders can now be recursively saved in the UI on the workspace or drive level and then recreated on command

- Can now enable/disable the ability for people to see old versions of a stack when shared out

- Contractor role. This is useful for people mounting subdrives. This is someone added to your workspace that takes up a billing seat but has no permission except to drives they’re explicitly added to.

- Column view. In addition to list/grid, folders can now be shown in a column format and navigated via arrow keys

- Can now disable the auto updater in case you want to stay on a particular version

- Small fixes for linux build

- Drives are now loaded on workspace load. In most cases this will allow much faster times to start using your drive

#### ShadeFS

- Fixed a case where in some concurrent usage it could cause syncing to stop

- Pinning on slow WiFi should no longer be a network bully

## ShadeFS

- Fixed an issue where in very very rare cases particular rename patterns with unicode characters could cause the drive to unmount

- Fixed a significant issue where when files were pinned or downloading at scale, it could cause sudden unmounts

- Fixed an issue where in specific timings mounting two drives simultaneously could cause both to unmount

- Fixed modified times in the mount. Premiere/other softwares should no longer pop up with “this project has been modified”

- Mounting for subdrives! Teams can now share out subfolders and those subfolders can be mounted individually. This is good for working with contractors or someone external to your org that just need narrow access to your larger drive

- Made conflict folder creation less aggressive

- Set the drives in your workspace to have default no access to the drive

Add the user who you would like to mount a subfolder as a (billable) member in workspace members

- Share the subfolder of the drive with the user you would like to have access to mount it with at least `Can edit` or `Has full access`

- The end user should now be able to mount just that subfolder of the drive

## Shared Cache

**Shared Cache:** Speed up file access across your team. Files already downloaded by teammates on your network are served instantly from the Shared Cache instead of re-downloading, with secure access controls ensuring you only access files you have permission to view.

- Timestamps

- Annotations

- Reactions

- Public

- Resolved

- Unresolved
- New sidebar item `Duplicates`, displays the duplicate files

#### ShadeFS

- Fixed an issue where in very very rare cases particular rename patterns with unicode characters could cause the drive to unmount

- Fixed a significant issue where when files were pinned or downloading at scale, it could cause sudden unmounts

- Fixed an issue where in specific timings mounting two drives simultaneously could cause both to unmount

- Uploads can now be paused. After a short wait, uploads will stop running and can be resumed later. Refreshing or closing the app will still clear the upload state but it’s great for moving between WiFi networks or on the go!

- Fixed escape key not closing asset pop-up

- Fixed some issues around spaces inside collection password links

- Fixed issue where in some cases the video timeline wouldn’t react to clicking

- Fixed some layout issues in Premiere panel when resizing the window

- Added interactions with the enter/right arrow key for filter UI

- Fixed issue where in some cases the volume slider wasn’t modifying video volume

- Adobe Premiere panel can now be downloaded via the Adobe Exchange

- Current selected video quality is now shown in the video player

- The app can now be downloaded from the website using Safari

- Improvements to the auto updater UI

#### ShadeFS

- Fixed bug that would cause pinning to fail if network requests needed to be retried

- Fixed two bugs that in some short windows of time would cause a dismount when mounting drives

- Fixed other unmount caused by timings in particular read orders

- Team Site Cache (beta)! This enables teams who work together in person to share the same ShadeFS cache. When anyone connected downloads data, this data is also saved to the cache, if anyone else access it then it will be served from the site cache

- Much faster time to start indexing large files (40-100gb) (~10x) and generally lower queuing times before assets begin indexing

- Notifications! Notifications for assets that you comment on as well as workspaces that you’re added to will be propagated to the “notifications” button under workspaces

- listdir latencies on the platform have been lowered dramatically

- much much lower time spent in the “processing” step when uploading on the platform

- Large tree operations in the web now reflect much more quickly (i.e moving tens of thousands of files to trash)

- Lots of other small fixes and improvements

#### ShadeFS

- Multipart pinning! Downloading from pins are now >3gbps

- Vastly faster merging in of changes from other users
