Planned Downtime Tonight : May 28th

It is extremely rare for us to plan any downtime for maintenance, however one of those unavoidable times will occur tonight as we upgrade database infrastructure. We anticipate 10 minutes of downtime within a 30 minute window beginning at 11PM ET, 8PM PT.

During this short downtime, our service will be entirely offline and your secured files will not be available. Once service is restored you will experience expect faster response times and a snappier user experience. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this planned maintenance will cause but look forward to delivering an even better FolderGrid service to you afterward.

FolderGrid Updates

software-updateWe’re pleased to announce the release of several significant updates to our service:

  • Support for uploading entire folders from your desktop using Google’s Chrome browser. Chrome users can now drag and drop a folder from the desktop into the WebApp to upload all the content of that folder seamlessly in one step.
  • Improved support for recursively applying permissions. The WebApp will now present a progress bar as permissions are applied to deep folder structures.
  • Upload window performance enhancements for Internet Explorer on Windows 8.1
  • Improved support for Android devices. Downloads that require multiple requests to initiate are now supported. This improves support for Android devices in our WebApp.
  • Change to default date presentation in the WebApp. We now display the “Last Modified” date by default in the WebApp which is the last time the file content was modified - preferring that to the previous default which was the “Last Updated” indicating the last change to the file metadata.
  • The 15 minute user lockout due to failed sign in attempts can be overridden by any change to the user password. This can be initiated by the user through a password reset process or by a domain administrator via the “Edit Password” support in the WebApp’s user management window.
    We welcome your feedback on these updates and as always - thanks for using FolderGrid!

SSLv3 disabled

We’ve removed support for the SSLv3 protocol from all of FolderGrid’s secure services in response to today’s disclosure of the POODLE vulnerability. For any users still accessing our service with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6.0 - this change means you must enable TLS 1 in your browser before you will be able to connect.
