The primary features of release 2.4.0 are:

• New drag and drop capability for file upload
  
  • DuraCloud now provides an option to either select a file or drag and drop a file (or several files) into a box for upload. 
    
    • This new functionality is enabled using HTML5, which also removes the need for a java browser plugin.
• New installers for the Sync Tool
  
  • The Sync Tool can now be installed using a platform-specific installer on Windows, Mac, and Linux. 
  • The installers provide a simple graphical installation flow and are consistent with the usual installation process on each operating system.
  • The installers provide the option to start up the Sync Tool on system restart, to ensure that the Sync Tool will continue to run even if you need to reboot your computer.
  • The installers add links and shortcuts which make it easy to find the Sync Tool when you need to see progress or change settings.
• New features for the Sync Tool
  
  • The Sync Tool now provides 3 options for handling files which have changed locally: 
    
    1. Overwrite the file (the default, and the only option available in previous versions)
    2. Skip the file (ensures that there are no changes made to any existing files in DuraCloud)
    3. Rename original (rename the old copy of this file first, then add the new file to DuraCloud)
  • The Sync Tool now allows the DuraCloud password to be provided via a system property or via a prompt, both of which remove the need to include a password as part of the command line call
• New features for the Retrieval Tool
  
  • The Retrieval Tool can now retrieve a list of the files in a space
  • The Retrieval Tool can now retrieve a specific set of files from a space, as well as being able to retrieval all files in a space
  • The Retrieval Tool now allows the DuraCloud password to be provided via a system property or via a prompt, both of which remove the need to include a password as part of the command line call
