Product Improvements

Tagging
Significant improvements have been made for the "Tag" feature. Now you can share tags across the entire domain, apply tags to any file that you have access to, and search by tags. The "administrator" is allowed to rename/delete any tag, but others can do the same, only for tags created by them. Multiple tags can be applied to any file and on hovering over the tag icon associated with each file, you can see who applied the tag and the timestamp.

FTP
It seems that FTP is becoming a popular choice of our customers for uploading large amounts of data. We are finding, much to our surprise, users are quite comfortable using a third party FTP client (Egnyte recommends free Filezilla) to not only to upload large amount of files for the initial transfer, but also on a daily basis. We are working on improving the FTP queuing and recovery processes and better communication to the users on the status of their file transfers.

Notification Controls
Based on user feedback, several controls are being added for the account administrator to centrally manage notification frequency, turn on/off notifications for users and allow/disallow individual users to make changes in their personal settings.

Thumbnails
We admit that our thumbnail generation for image files can be improved significantly in terms of reducing the time it takes for thumbnails to be available, generate a better image quality and allow for thumbnail view to be the default. We are working on all these fronts.
