Pydio Enterprise 8 - Major Version

Created on 2017/05/15
Component: 
Enterprise Distribution
License: 
EULA
Release Type: 
Stable

Upgrade

Upgrading is done via the in-app upgrader or YUM on Centos7 systems. For in-app upgrade, if you don't see any available package, make sure that the update channel is set to "Stable".

[Upgrade Note 1] If you are using Linux Packages, starting with Pydio 8, you don't have to run SQL upgrade manually anymore. After disconnecting and reloading the page, you should be prompted with a Migration Screen that will allow you to automatically upgrade the database.

[Upgrade Note 2] As we have entirely rewritten the Branding Tools, you will have to run through the process of branding your application colors after upgrade. Don't panic, the new tool is much more easy to use and it should be a matter of minutes to have your application reflect your brand identity again!

 

Full UI Rewrite

User interface has been entirely rewritten, providing cutting-edge design principles (Material Design, by Google) on top of cutting-edge technologies. It's the best UX we've done, ever, and it's strong, stable, laid on solid fundations.
Of course, this bold move allowed us to improve many features, some of them are described below.

 

 

Shares Tracking and Activity Reports

In their dashboard, users now have a way to easily summarize all their shared data, by workspace or share type. On the admin side, this share explorer allows for auditing the platform and easily finding mistakes or anomalies.

 

 

 

Efficient Address-book and Teams Management

The team concept of Pydio 7 has been deeply improved, allowing the users to easily manage their teams, share files or folder with them, and have the permissions updated automatically when team members are added or removed.
This is done through a brand new Address Book component, that gives access to the whole users directories.

 

 

New features for the Enterprise Distribution

- EasyTransfer is a way for organizations to provide super simple "upload-and-share" interface to their users, in a beautiful UX while maintaining data safe.
- The Branding Tool has been reworked to provide a more consistent way of changing the application colors.
- Administrators now have access to an instant search-engine for plugins and parameters accross the admin dashboard.
- Get started shortly with Pydio by simply importing a CSV file containing users.
... And many more!
