Jungle Disk Blog

As I mentioned a few days ago, although we’ve been quiet recently it’s not because we haven’t been busy. To the contrary, we have a some exciting new products, enhancements, and upgrades (including the much anticipated Jungle Disk 3.0) that we’ll be rolling out shortly.

One of the enhancements we’ve been working on is a new interface to Jungle Disk Web Access. This interface introduces an easy to use file browsing interface with new features including the ability to move and rename files, multi-file upload, and cookie-based logins allowing you to securely log out with a single click.

If you’d like to try out the new web interface, you can access it at:

https://beta.myjungledisk.com

Both Desktop and Workgroup users can log in on the beta site. If you encounter any issues, please contact our support team via http://support.jungledisk.com.

For Jungle Disk users with personal Amazon S3 accounts, note that as before, you’ll need to register your Amazon S3 keys in your Jungle Disk account to see your online disks in the web access site.

Jungle Disk 2.62a is now available for download. This update fixes several minor issues, the most urgent being a compatibility fix for the upcoming Snow Leopard OSX release. The full list of changes is below:

• Fixed network drive mounting on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
• Fixed XML parsing issue on Linux that resulted in RPC error messages
• Fixed possible segfault on shutdown in Linux
• Fixed possible Windows Explorer hang on network drive
• Fixed move/rename of files with incorrect case on Windows
• Added impersonation support to improve compatibility of network share backup
• Added support for restoring to password protected network shares

You can download the new version using the links below. We will enable the automatic update feature on Wednesday if you’d prefer to update that way instead.

• Desktop Edition downloads
• Workgroup Edition downloads
• Reseller Edition downloads

While this is only a minor update, rest assured we have some amazing new things in development which we’ll be talking about soon.

We’ve temporarily removed the beta plugin of Jungle Disk for Windows Home Server from the Jungle Disk site. We’re in the process of developing an entirely new backup product for Windows Home Server and other NAS devices and we hope to have a beta available in the near future. In order to reduce confusion when the new product comes out we’ve decided to go ahead and take down the WHS-only beta at this time.

Note that this does NOT affect existing users of the Jungle Disk WHS plugin in any way. You can continue using it as-is for as long as you’d like. If your WHS happens to fail and you need to re-install the plugin to restore your files, please contact our support team and they’ll be happy to provide the download.
