We are glad to announce that Seafile drive client 1.0.0 is finally ready after a long period of beta.
The new Seafile Drive Client is the second client for the sync & share solution Seafile. This client makes Seafile the better alternative to the traditional network shares offering file download on-demand, no network delay when browsing files, automatic server sync of file updates and file caching for offline access.
Here is the changelog for version 1.0.0:
[fix] Allow a guest user to copy files into shared library
Support pause sync
[win] Add option to only allow current user to view the virtual disk
[win] Don’t let the Windows to search into the internal cache folder
[win] Install the explorer extension to system path to allow multiple users to use the extension
[mac] Add option to allow search in Finder (disabled by default to avoid files be automatically downloaded in some Mac)
Ok seadrive is out of beta and you can still modify a user’s drive without needing to log into their account.
Now if ransomware is installed on any user on that computer, it will affect all the seadrive users there.
This breaks the access control model enforced by windows and any other sane operating system out there (you cannot access other user’s home directory unless access is explicitly granted). I’ve reported this before, seadrive is closed source so you’re not getting any help from the community. I hope the “Your Data Safety is our first Priority” on the website is not just a marketing thing.
[win] Add option to only allow current user to view the virtual disk
There is an option to disable the virtual disk be visited by other users. This option is disabled by default as it may have bugs with the kernel drive.
The encrypted library support is planned to be added after version 1.0. The difficulty it the UI part. There is no way to open a window when a encrypted library is clicked.
Yes. Of course after some updates, there is smaller number of occurs. But copying still sometimes freezes, same as application which opening file. If user have enabled file preview in file explorer, it’s extremely slow down whole OS and only select different file in same folder take few seconds.
To prevent network delay, there still isn’t proxy cache for file block.
I consult it with a lot people. They independently said that it should be more like standard client, just select which library you want to have in "disk S:". And they are right. Just click “sync this library” same way as you do in standard client. You select library/folder name in disk root(this will take of these four confusing folders), and you can write password for encrypted library. Finally after you get SeaDrive stable, you can join SeaDrive and standard client.
