Hold your breath, guys, we are going to be releasing fQ 2.1 today. This is a short notice to let you know that some of you might be unable to access your accounts for a few minutes while we perform a bit of maintenance. Thanks for your patience.
Update (6:00am): The 2.1 deployment went well. All fQ services are fully functional. If you are experiencing any difficulties, please contact us @ support (at) fileqube.com.
To find out what’s new with 2.1 click here.
With fileQube you can email links rather than send large files as attachments (forget about bulky attachments and email bounces).
1. Locate the file you want to email on File Qube. Place your mouse on top of it or do a ‘mouse hover’ and click the action icon. The action icon is the small arrow that appears on the top left of your file when you do a ‘mouse hover’. A drop down menu will appear when you click the arrow or the action icon.
The same drop down menu will also appear if you right-click the file.
The Share feature allows you to share a single file with other users. The other users can then see the changes you make to this file. They can also make edits and changes which you can see reflected in the file.
If you use the Share feature, you can upload a file from your computer into any folder of your choice on File Qube. You can either create a new folder or use an existing one.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to share a file:
1. Locate the file you want to share on fileQube. Place your mouse on top of it or do a ‘mouse hover’ and click the action icon. The action icon is the small arrow that appears on the top left of your file when you do a ‘mouse hover’. A drop down menu will appear when you click the arrow or the action icon.
The same drop down menu will also appear if you right-click the file.
Yep you read right, fileQube is now on Facebook!

Greetings fileQubers,
As some of you are aware, fileQube experienced a lengthy downtime between January 2nd, 2009 and January 4th, 2009.
Late in the evening of the 2nd, the core switch in our primary European data center stopped responding. Our engineer team worked with Data Center support staff around the clock to restore services as fast as possible. By Saturday morning partial services were restored to users with files outside of the affected area and by Sunday evening full services were restored.
We will be releasing a new deployment to our filecloud in preparation of our phase 2 upgrades. This deployment may require us to take down the servers for up to 2 hours.
We will be adding new hardware to File Qube’s infrastructure, which may require us to take down the service for up to one hour. This outage is to scheduled happen on: Thursday, November 27th, 2008 at 1PM
