External Release Notes: Desktop App Core for Mac v 1.7.0 (April 28, 2025)
New Features And Improvements
Desktop Configuration From WebUI
Desktop App now supports centralized configuration management via the Web UI. Admins can create and deploy drive mappings, offline folders, and connected folders to user groups without manual setup on each device.
These changes will be gradually enabled to customers in upcoming weeks.
Issues Addressed
Incomplete File After Resuming Interrupted Downloads
Interrupted file downloads resulted in incomplete files when resumed. The app now properly handles failed resume attempts by discarding outdated resume data and restarting the download as needed, ensuring complete and reliable file retrieval.
Thumbnail Loading Issues With Adobe Bridge On Smart Cache
Adobe Bridge displayed thumbnails with delayed loading or in a scrambled manner when browsing large photo sets synced via Smart Cache. The update improves real-time thumbnail loading and ensures correct rendering when accessing synced folders.
Smart Cache Not Populating For Hybrid Connected Drives
Smart Cache devices were not caching data as expected for Hybrid Connected Drives. This was due to the use of an unsupported API path, which prevented proper caching behavior.
