Product Improvements

Product Improvements

It's been a busy summer for us. We have been working hard to improve and add new features. Here's a highlight.

Change in Menu Layout

Based on customer feedback and usability studies, we are moving the Actions Menu from the right of the page to the top (right above your file listing). This layout is similar to what you see when using Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. Additional enhancements include bread crumbs for folder navigation, consistent navigation for all tabs in the left navigation pane, fully collapsible left pane and remembering thumbnail view/list view.

Audit Capability

Egnyte now provides a powerful audit capability, allowing account administrators to view every single file or folder action performed by users on the account. You can generate reports to query actions by folder or file name by specific users and within any chosen time period. Actions will be classified by type (e.g. file upload, file download, file delete etc.), and by source (e.g. web, mapped drive, Local Cloud etc). Reports are downloadable to excel. By default, Egnyte will store 3 months of audit information for your account.

iPhone App and iPad App

Egnyte apps for iPhone and iPad are now available for free download at the App Store (earlier you could use the safari browser and access your account from these devices). These new apps offer all the original capabilities to view folders, files and share files from the phone. In addition, you can now upload files from the phone and also search for files using keywords.

FTP Enhancement

Until now, if a user had uploaded files using FTP, only that user could move these files to respective Shared or Private folders. Now, the account administrator will have complete access to any user's FTP folder and will be able to move files from any user's FTP folder.

 
What's coming up What's coming up

We continue to see strong interest and adoption for the Local Cloud solution - both the Personal Local Cloud (on your hard drive) and the Office Local Cloud (on Netgear NAS devices). We will soon be releasing a version titled "Enterprise Local Cloud" which runs as a Virtual Machine, enabling you to deploy this solution on any hardware platform of your choice - other NAS devices or existing Linux or Windows servers. We plan to have a beta version available by mid-august. To participate in the beta program, please email us or contact support at 1.877.734.6983.
