Fabulous Cloud Storage Platform
There's no sortage of praise I can give IceDrive, it's just amazing! The UI / speed and integrations with iOS' files, the macOS app, link sharing, privacy-focused policies and the availability of encryption make it a no-brainer. Here are a few things that would definitelly motivate me (and perhaps others) to stack codes like it's Christmas:
For context, I am using the macOS and iOS apps.
- The ability to set a default list view instead of having to set it everytime you open the app.
- Having a high resolution icon for the macOS top menu bar which changes to dark/light as needed (instead of a low-res PNG icon).
- Hiding the macOS top menu bar icon.
- Being able to quit the app via CMD + Q and hiding it via CMD + H. Currently nothing happens.
- The ability to drag and drop files from My Icedrive to Encrypted. Currently you have to upload files directly to encrypted and there's no way to easily encrypt/decrypt files.
- Perhaps a right click "Encrypt" system which then shows a lock icon on files in My Icedrive. The encrypted tab could show all encrypted files while they would also show inside My Icedrive. It's inconvenient to have them in two separate areas.
- Not having a popup window open for everything. A smooth in-app same-window system would look and work a lot better.
- Hiding the top menu bar on macOS and just using an inset style could make it look better.
- The ability to automatically remove completed transfers from the transfer list as they go.
- A better icon for "Clear All" and "Clear Done" while viewing transfers. They're easy to mistake for one another.
- Adding the "Settings" top the top menu bar "IceDrive" item when the app is open. It's a pretty standard place to put "Preferences".
- An in-app context menu for right click actions.
- PDFs should not open full screen when using the in-app viewer. Or at least it should have that a non-default option under settings.
- Being able to hide the owner name, folder name, and last modified when sharing a public link.
- The ability to white label the top left logo when sharing a public link. Maybe even the app itself, similar to how CloudApp lets you brand the logos / links / domain CNAME.
- Being able to have more than 5 concurrent transfers. On a 1Gbps fiber connection, that's a huge plus in my opinion.
- When downloading an item (on the macOS app) it should automatically attempt opening it. Also, there should be an option to download stuff do the macOS Downloads folder. Right now you gotta click download, then manually find the IceDrive folder on your computer and find the file.
- An "Open in Finder" right click context option.
- A tab where you can see all files / folders you shared and a way to disable link sharing. Also it would be cool to set up a link expiry time.
I've got more feedback but that would do for now - I think it's a great deal and the only reason I have it 4 tacos is because there are some app bugs (which I feel like they can be easily addressed).
Cheers!
