Product Improvements
Happy New Year! We have been busy updating our product in the last month and evaluating new features to add in 2011. We hope you like the improvements and welcome any suggestions you may have!
iPad and iPhone updates
Both the iPad and iPhone now enable you to perform more file and folder actions within the application. Previously, you had to log in to the web interface to perform these actions. With the new iPad update, you can now rename and delete files and folders, and create notes directly in the application. With the new iPhone update, you can now add new notes to existing files. You can also set a default for sorting files by date or name, either ascending or descending, allowing you to quickly locate your files within both apps.
Additionally, the iPad and iPhone apps now support access URL mapping. With Egnyte, you have the option to map your Egnyte domain (ex. https://mycompany.egnyte.com) to your company's custom domain name (ex. https://fileshare.mycompany.com). Previously, on the iPhone/iPad apps you were required to use the Egnyte domain to log in. Now, you can log in to the application using your custom company domain. How does this affect your daily use of the application? Let's say you want to share a file via links with a customer. Previously, the unique link generated by Egnyte began with https://mycompany.egnyte.com. Since the app now supports access URL mapping, the unique link will begin with https://fileshare.mycompany.com. Access URL support extends your company's branding capabilities to the iPhone/iPad apps.
Egnyte Corporate Plans and Pricing Page
For 50 or higher Power Users, a new Corporate Plans page has been added to the web site enabling you to configure your own plan by selecting the number of power users, specifying storage needs, and optionally selecting the Office Local Cloud (deployed on a Netgear NAS device) or the Enterprise Local Cloud (deployed as a virtual machine on any existing hardware). You can start your free trial with no credit card required, or buy your plan now. Visit the site and let us know what you think!
Help & FAQ URL customization
Within your account, underneath the Brand Settings tab, admins will be able to direct the support tab found on their company's Cloud File Server to their own support website or email address. Now customers can direct support to their internal IT department to act as the first line of support instead of directing employees and business partners straight to Egnyte.
