From this version on, CloudPool can update itself. Install this one by hand, and the next one is a button.

A new version arrives in CloudPool

  • When a new version is out, a line appears at the bottom of the sidebar. Press it to see what changed.
  • Update downloads the file for your computer, checks it against the checksum published on the website, then closes CloudPool and opens it again as the new version.
  • Your login, accounts, drives and settings stay exactly as they are, and a drive you had open in Finder or File Explorer comes back by itself.
  • Nothing downloads or installs on its own. CloudPool looks once a day and waits for you.

How each computer gets it

  • Mac: the new app replaces the old one, and the old one is put back if anything goes wrong.
  • Windows: the installer runs quietly, with no administrator prompt, and starts CloudPool again.
  • Linux AppImage: the new file takes the place of the running one.
  • Linux .deb: installing one needs an administrator, so CloudPool downloads it and shows it in your file manager.

Also

  • Settings, About says which version you have and when CloudPool last looked, with Check now.
  • The menu bar offers the update too.

Install this over your current version; nothing is lost.
