Just Launched - v2.1 of File Qube!

We are back with a bang! Check out the new features of File Qube. If you want to add to this list, post your suggestions here or drop us a message.  We are listening and we will act on all feedback / suggestions, I promise.

Some of the more exciting features in this release are:

The Flash Uploader is Flashier and Shinier

Flash Uploader

One of your biggest grouses was that you couldn’t select and upload multiple files simultaneously. Well, that grouse has been nixed. You can now upload multiple files simultaneously.

That’s because the Flash uploader is back, like ‘The Terminator’ ala Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Flash uploader changed the way we uploaded files at fileQube.

Not only is it back, but we have added many more features to the flash uploader. In the new flash uploader, you get an intuitive drop down menu to change the destination folder when you upload your files.

A Feature Rich History Module

History Module
Keep track of your file versions with our shiny new history module. This is the first release of our collaboration module. And it is only for PRO user accounts, though. If you want to use that, upgrade to a PRO account right now, right here.

  • Retain old file versions. If you upload a file with the same file name, the newer, more recent version will be retained. But you don’t lose the older version. It moves to File History.
  • Undo changes. If you edit your file, then the older / original file also moves to File History. This helps you undo and keep track of all changes.
  • View, download and delete all history items.

A New Right-Click Context Menu

A New Right-Click Context Menu
File management just got easier with our new right click context menu. Manage folders, files, or group of items by right clicking it. An action menu pops up and allows you to easily manage files.

Note – this feature is available only for users of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome.

Cut, Copy, and Paste Files Easily

Cut, Copy, and Paste Files Easily
If you copy files and move them around a lot, rejoice. You will now find copying and moving files more user-friendly. For example, if you paste a duplicate file, then fileQube catches that and ask you what to do next. You can:

  • Overwrite - Allows you to keep the most recent version of the file. The old file is automatically moved to File History.
  • Skip – or cancel this process.

Better hotlinks caching

We’ve improved hotlinks caching. It should be very useful for those of you who host images.

The goodies bag doesn’t end here…

Shortly, we will release one more features package. In it, you can expect, amongst other things –

  • URLQube - Generates a smaller, more manageable, and a more user-friendly URL. This allows you to easily share files and URLs.It’s a feature that is available at sites like tinyurl.com. Your fileQube Short URL or URLQube will have the format fileqube.com/XYZ123
  • Single click folder download – Wish to download an entire folder with a single click? With our brand new feature you’ll be able to compress a selected folder and download all files at once.

Still feels like Xmas, doesn’t it?

    FileQube has really improved. It’s much faster ‘n easier to upload and manage files. And the user interface is well-organized too.

    I wonder if you are planning to offer the service in a white label version? Or as through an API?

    @Govind: Thanks for the positive feedback. We’ve been working hard to improve the service and it’s always nice to see that our users are enjoying it.

    I can’t tell you much about our plans for future development (you never know who’s reading) but I can tell you that your wishes will be granted in the VERY NEAR future ;).

    Nice interface and lovely speed even for free accounts, thanks File Qube!
    btw, one small question here is, what do you mean by “bandwidth”? Is it an upload bandwidth or a download bandwidth, or for both? Is it a daily bandwidth or monthly bandwidth or… lifetime bandwidth?(no! lol)
    :D thanks for the great service provided, i’m feeling so lucky to find the site~

    Thanks! I love it. :) The interface is nice and simple. Ang it’s good that you used flash instead of java. But I also have one question. Is it possible to view the subfolders of a folder that is being viewed in a sharing widget? When i embbed the widget of my folder, the subfolders doesn’t show up. And i get hard time embedding all its sub folders where my files are located.
