  • Reduced bundle size of the upload page

  • Added an indicator whether the upload uses E2E Encryption or not

  • Added E2E Encryption information to the download page

  • Fixed various bugs in the Share Extension

2.0 - 2024-06-11

Added

  • You can now enable end-to-end (e2e) encryption for new transfers. Doing so has the following implications:

    • name & content of files and the transfer message get encrypted and decrypted on the client side

    • email addresses of recipients get encrypted server side

    • Only pdf and multi media files up to 250 MB can be previewed on the download page. Spreadsheets, Textdocuments and presentations can not be previewed with enabled e2e encryption

  • The transfer option "Share password with recipient" appends the transfer password to the download link displayed in the uploader and included in the mail to your recipients for mail transfers. With this option downloaders no longer need to enter the transfer password

Changed

  • The transfer password is only sent to ysendit.com if the option "Share password with recipient" is enabled. Otherwise, we never see your passwords

  • For new transfers without a password and with disabled e2e encryption, the transfer message, file names and email addresses of recipients get stored unencrypted

1.7.9 - 2023-13-04

Added

    • The consent dialog supports versioning. A new version of the data processing can be set in the admin console. Thereafter, users will be presented a modal and must agree to the changes

      • It may take up to two days until all users see the change due to caching

    • Also, it supports different website areas and their required permissions. If the user enters another area of the website for the first time, he must agree to the permissions that are new here
