New FileSender 2.42 release

We are happy to announce the release of FileSender 2.42. The latest release offers a few new features and improvements, as well as many bug fixes. We are grateful to the global NREN community for supporting the FileSender project to evolve.

FileSender is an open source web application that organisations can install at no cost. Through FileSender, organisations can offer their users an online service with which they can share their files securely whilst using local storage options. Organisations are completely free in the way they install FileSender in their infrastructure and organisations are able to host FileSender on-premises or in a private cloud in an appropriate data center. This means that they can offer the FileSender service in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The following has been fixed and changed since FileSender 2.41: https://github.com/filesender/filesender/releases/

For FileSender 2.42 a memory leak was fixed, so that larger encrypted uploads are now possible in Chrome. Previously, this would crash the browser when all memory is consumed. FileSender.py can now upload whole directories and has performance improvements.

Please see Support and Mailing lists to stay updated on the latest FileSender developments and important news.

FileSender users are appreciated providing feedback. You can submit things – inspect and report bugs, request features you would like to see added to FileSender – that might improve the next release on the GitHub Issue Tracker.
