BIShare 2.6.1

Added

• One question about a possible paid storage feature. When it is turned on from the server, Home shows a single card asking whether you would use encrypted storage at a stated price, only if it were free, or not at all. It is asked once and can be closed. The answer is counted anonymously (a tally per answer and per platform, nothing that identifies a device), and sending files stays free. The card never appears when usage statistics are off in Settings, and never on the first launch.

Changed

• The rating request reaches people who use BIShare. It used to count only Wi-Fi transfers, so anyone who mostly sent links, used rooms or Nearby was never asked; every kind of transfer counts now (Secure Link, live links, rooms, Nearby, browser peers, links opened in the app). The first request comes right after the first transfer that works instead of the third, and there can be three over time (after 8 transfers and 30 days, and after 20 transfers and 90 days) instead of two. On iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android it is still the system's own dialog, which the system may decide not to show.
• Windows asks too. A Microsoft Store install shows a short banner at the same moments, with a button to the Store's rating page.
• "Rate BIShare" in Settings opens the review form. On iPhone, iPad and Mac it now opens the App Store's write-a-review sheet, and on Windows the Microsoft Store rating page, instead of the store listing or the website.
