Overview


Windows App is a redesigned native desktop application that gives users direct access to their files and shares from a Windows computer. Built with performance and stability in mind, this new app offers a smoother, faster, and more intuitive experience compared to its predecessor.



Users can upload, sync, and manage files securely while maintaining full visibility of storage usage and recent activities.


Improvements


Version 3 was designed based on user feedback. Here’s a quick overview of what’s new and improved:

  • Improved reliability – A new sync engine for better handling of large files and bulk operations. 

  • Sync folder – A local sync folder replaces the virtual drive.

  • Better resource management – Uses less system resources than its predecessor. Share capacity no longer depends on available memory.

  • Deeper integration with Explorer – Enables native file status icons and additional context menu options. 

  • Modern interface – A refreshed design available in Default, Light, and Dark modes. The Default mode automatically follows the system’s appearance settings (Light or Dark).

  • Simplified layout – All key functions are now accessible through four main tabs:

    • Share list – Displays company shares, storage usage, and access folders.

    • Session log – Shows file activity such as uploads, downloads, and changes.

    • Failed files – Lists files that did not sync successfully and allows recovery.

    • Settings – Lets users customize language, theme, and sync preferences.

  • Monitor window – Provides better visibility of file sync progress and errors. Partially replaces file messages.

  • Export logs – Simplifies log export for troubleshooting and support.
