Koofr changelog koofr.eu

New

Have you ever asked yourself what is the size of your folders in Koofr? Now you can find out with one click, with a new feature straight from the users' wishlist.

Select a folder in the Koofr web app and click on the Info button in the Editing Menu. The Item Info will appear on the left side of the screen. Click on the Calculate size button to calculate the total size and number of all files and folders inside the selected folder and its subfolders.

Note: This option is only available in the web app of the paid Koofr accounts.

When you are in a folder, you can see the number of items in it and their size in the upper-left corner above the files list in the Koofr web app.

Note: Unlike the new Calculate size option, this only works for a folder you are currently in and does not take into account its subfolders.

Tip

You'll be happy to hear that now it is even easier to get some extra, free space in your Koofr account.

Invite your friends to join Koofr and each one of them that starts using Koofr will now bring you 2 GB of additional free space. Since you get 2 GB of free space as soon as you join Koofr, you will now only need four of your friends to accept your invite, to get to 10 GB of free space in your account. We will, of course, give them the extra 2 GB as well.

Invite them to join by clicking on Get free space in the Koofr web app. Send them your unique invite link or invite them via email.

As an additional bonus, we rounded up the existing free space from your previously accepted invites. If, for example, one of your friends accepted your invite to join Koofr, you both received 500 MB of free space. Now, both of you already have the extra 2 GB of free space in your Koofr accounts, forever.

Improvement

To start the new year off right we bring you some security and authentication improvements, as well as a new release of the Koofr Android app.

What is new and improved?

• Our authentication pages are redesigned

• Sign in with Google now asks for your Koofr password if you already have a Koofr account with the same email address

• Sign in with Google now requires a two-step authentication, if enabled on your Koofr account

• Disabling the two-step authentication in Koofr now requires the user to re-enter their password (or to Sign in with Google) and enter the two-step authentication code

• You are now able to remove your Sign in with Google connection in your Koofr account's Security settings under Services

What does the Koofr app 3.9.2 for Android bring?

Koofr now support scoped storage on Android 10 and 11 and is thereby allowed even more limited access to the data on your phone.

On the back of this important security measure, the upload and download processes, the media backup and automatic upload have been thoroughly overhauled and improved.

We have also added a way to preserve the GPS info in the photos when uploading them to Koofr. To do that you need to grant the Koofr app the media location access permission when turning on the media upload, along with the permission to access the photos themselves. If you have previously denied the media location access permission, you can turn the automatic media upload off and on again in order for the Koofr app to request the permission again.

Finally, a number of minor bugs, spotted since the previous release were fixed.

All of the mentioned changes are already live and the new Android release is already available on Google Play and Huawei AppGallery.

New

At Koofr, we strive to provide users with as many features as possible, but safety and security are always at the top of our minds.

We already provide users with options to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) with their account and the use of the application-specific passwords for external applications that do not use our more secure API login. These applications mostly consist of rclone and WebDAV based connections.

We have advocated and suggested the use of application-specific passwords with all such applications instead of your main account password.

This not only prevents your account password from being leaked by a third party but also limits the access of any such application. The apps that use application-specific passwords cannot change the settings, email address or account password, or log into the Koofr web or mobile app.

On January 1, 2021, we are taking this a step further. Logging in with rclone and WebDAV will ONLY be possible with APPLICATION-SPECIFIC PASSWORDS.

Your main password will no longer work for these connections. We suggest you change your settings (if any) for any such application before the January 1st, 2021, to ensure all your connections continue working without interruptions.

If you are using our network drive feature and you enabled it in the Koofr desktop app or have already used the application-specific passwords when setting up your rclone and WebDAV connections, you do not need to do anything, everything will keep on working normally for you.

You can find help on how to create the application-specific passwords in our FAQ or in our video tutorial.

We know this change may cause you an inconvenience, but we believe it will greatly improve the safety of your Koofr account.

You can contact our support or write to our Reddit channel with any additional questions.

Stay safe,

The Koofr team

We've made some improvements and released the 3.8.10 version of the Koofr Android app.

The 3.8.10 release brings a fix for the bug that affected the access to local files, including the ability to download files, upload local files, and perform automatic media uploads on Android devices running Android 10+, that have had the Koofr app installed for the first time ever after 18.9.2020.

The new release is already available on Google Play and on Huawei AppGallery.

We apologize for the inconvenience if this bug hit you and, like always, you can let us know what you think of the new release on our Reddit channel.

Another highly-requested feature from the users' wishlist is here. You are now able to see the thumbnail previews of your PDF files in Koofr.

The thumbnail previews are available in the tile view of the Koofr web app and Android app, making it even easier for you to quickly find the PDFs you are searching for.

Additionally, we made scrolling through the files in the Koofr Android app a bit easier. Due to popular demand, you will now return to your previous position when navigating back to the parent folder.

We hope you enjoy these improvements. Let us know what you think of them on our Reddit channel.
