vBoxxCloud versie 2.0 is nu live!

vBoxxCloud version v2.0.0.563 is now live and a lot of features are updated!

Release Notes:

File locking

Users can now place locks on files and folders within Team Shares! Locks are global and prevent all other users from making changes to files that were locked.

Admins can lock/unlock files and folders regardless of organisational policy
The desktop sync client can prompt users to lock Word and Excel documents that they open within a Team Share:
- This auto-lock feature can be turned off and on at the ‘Edit Team Share’ page (off by default)
- Included a button on the Team Share page to bulk enable auto-locking on Team Shares
- Word for Mac & .xls are currently not supported
- Unless specified in hard-lock extension list (description below), locks are ‘soft’ in that they still allow users to make changes locally
  - Locked files will get a lock icon overlay
  - Unwarranted changes (renames, deletes, updates, moves, etc) will not upload until a lock is removed
  - Offending users will be notified via a systray notification and an exclamation mark icon overlay
  - Added hard-lock (file-system enforced locks) for specific extensions:
    - Extensions are defined at the organisation policy level and are: .doc,.docx,.xls,.xlsx,.ppt,.pptx,.pdf,.txt,.xlsb,.xlsm,.csv,.docm,.dotx,.dotm,.pub,.wpd,.odt,.ott,.oth,.odm,.ots,.odp,.odg,.otp,.odf,.oxt,.odc,.ods,.vdx,.vsx,.vtx,.one
    - On Windows, hard locks are implemented by setting the following DENY ACE for the EVERYONE SID:
      - Create files/write data
      - Create folders/append data
      - Write attributes
      - Write extended attributes
      - Delete
    - On OSX, we set the UF_IMMUTABLE flag (essentially user lock)
Added functionality to desktop client to correct permissions on locked/previously-locked files
- From Windows desktop client GUI, under the Advanced tab, push Ctrl+Alt+C to show "Correct Locks" button
- On OSX agents, select ⌘+Option+C to show "Correct Locks" button

Download as .ZIP

Users now have the ability to download folders as a .ZIP file from the web portal by right-clicking any folder and selecting ‘Download ZIP’
- Empty subfolders will not be included in the .ZIP download
- vBoxxCloud strip characters outside of extended ASCII in files and folders when creating the ZIP file

Revision Rollback

Users can rollback all files within an entire root or folder to their revisions before a certain date
- Provides great protection against CryptoLocker-like viruses
- Users have the ability to select a specific date and time or just restore by date
- Example: If a Team Share was infected on June 23^rd at 9:00AM, user would select the restore time to be June 23^rd, 8:59AM to restore all files before the infection happened

Note: Clock is set to 24 hour and is based off the time zone of the vBoxxCloud server

Enhancements/Fixes:

Sync	Users now have the ability to sync .bak files; by default this extension will be included in the excluded extensions policy and the policy is set per organisation
Agent	Improved agent overlays during sync Fixed behavior of folder renames when rename fails when user has file open within it- we will now wait until file is closed before applying folder rename
OS X	Changed default Synced Folder permission on OSX so only folder owner has read, write, execute permissions (chmod 700) Fixed issue where folders containing a trailing space in the folder name would cause an error when trying to rename the folder
Shares	Separated Shares page into 3 tabs to speed up page loading; Tabs are ‘Team Shares’, ‘Items Shared By You’, and ‘Items Shares With You’ Fixed issue where download count doubled for shared files, causing shares to expire after incorrect amount of downloads
API	Added API value to remove files when unsubscribing a machines from a Team Share To remove files use /1/management/root/unsubscribe/ and the values ‘remove_files’ equal True: root_id = 1 person_id = 1 machine_id = 1 remove_files = True
Organisation Policies	Admins have the ability to enable/disable Manual Collision Resolution per machine Feature can be toggled in a machine’s settings page (From Machine tab, click machine’s name)
Dashboard and Web Portal	If a web browser supports the inline viewing of a file, it will be opened as such, otherwise, the browser will prompt user to save document; users can still download the file by right-clicking it and choosing ‘Download’ Machines will now display "AGENT ERROR" status for the root(s) causing the error Added feature that allows users to restore deleted files between specified date ranges for subfolders Added ability for organisation admins to convert guest accounts into regular vBoxxCloud user accounts User has the ability to drag and drop folders for upload on the web portal Note that this will only upload files, folder structure will not be maintained File report CSV output now displays raw byte count in Size column, allowing admins to easily sort data by size Added an option to use headers when importing CSV files to create accounts If a csv files has a header, check the "CSV has a header row?" box
