Image backups

You can now download a zip backup of your images. Pick specific images (up to 1000), back up a single folder, or back up your entire drive. Handy if you want a local copy of your product photos for safekeeping or to move them somewhere else.

There’s a new My Backups page in your dashboard where you can see the backup being prepared and download the zip once it’s ready. If you have a lot of images, preparing the backup can take a while. The process keeps running even if you close the site or navigate away, so you don’t have to sit and wait.

If you have 25,000 images or more, the backup is split into multiple zips. A single zip that big would be tens of gigabytes, and most browsers and internet connections can’t handle a download that large reliably.

Only one zip is prepared per drive at a time. If you request multiple backups, they’re queued and handled one after the other. When many customers are preparing backups at once, yours may sit in the queue for a bit before it starts.

Managers of your drive can also request and download backups.

Uploads

Bulk image uploads no longer cause your browser to appear non-responsive.

Added a security improvement for image and video uploads, both from your device and from cloud imports.

The upload status bar now stays visible while you browse around the dashboard, so you can keep working while uploads finish in the background.

The upload widget has a cleaner UI. It’s leaner so it performs better during bulk uploads, it closes automatically once an upload starts (also for performance reasons), and it’s easier to figure out how to use.

Bug fixes

Exporting a CSV for a folder now includes images in its sub folders.

Other improvements

Less lag when scrolling through large amounts of images.

Deleting a large selection of images no longer overwhelms the UI.

The Team page has been updated so My Backups and My Team share the same style.
