KEIBIDROP Files

KEIBIDROP 0.5.0 is a major milestone: a new desktop design, better connections and file sharing on Mac, Windows and Linux, and a new license, AGPL-3.0. Update both computers.

Changes that may affect you

• License: AGPL-3.0-only from 0.5.0, the desktop app included. It stays free to use. A closed-source product that embeds it needs a commercial license. Releases 0.4.8 and older keep their old licenses. Details: https://github.com/KeibiSoft/KeibiDrop/blob/main/LICENSING.md
• The folder mode is now called Teleport.
• A custom incoming port must be between 26000 and 27000.

Features

• New desktop design with visual improvements, and help in plain words.
• The desktop app uses less CPU.
• The app offers to save a new friend as a contact.
• Save shows progress on the card, then a check when done.
• Folders show as cards you can open.
• Editing the same big file together moves only what changed.
• Windows Explorer shows your friend's changes without a refresh.
• Report problem can attach the app's log, with personal details removed.
• Advanced settings, each explained when you hover it.

Bug fixes

• Visual bugs fixed across the desktop app.
• Large folders no longer freeze the app.
• A save interrupted by a dropped connection no longer damages the file.
• When you both change the same file, both versions are kept.
• On a Mac, your friend's edits show up in the Teleport Folder at once.
• Files your friend shrinks or deletes now update on your side.
• Deleting folders no longer fails with "File exists".
• On Windows, a shared file can be deleted while your friend has it open.
• Connect and Cancel work in any order, without "busy" errors.
• Local mode no longer gets stuck after a cancel.
• Quitting while connecting no longer crashes the app.
• A lost connection comes back to the same friend.
• Quitting and starting again right away works.

Security

• Built with Go 1.26.9 and updated libraries, with known vulnerabilities fixed.
• A computer with an open port, such as a NAS, drops connections from internet scanners.

Misc

• The update notice is now a button.
• kd version works without a running daemon, and kd create, kd join and kd connect honour --timeout.
