What's new in Portable Binfer 5.1.0.0

Sep 28, 2019

Intuitive Action Button:
‘Share via Binfer’ (‘Message’ from Binfer 5.0). Allows to share messages and files with other Binfer users
‘Share via Web Link’ (‘Link’ from Binfer 5.0). Allows to send messages via Web Link if the receiver doesn’t have Binfer App installed.
‘Receive via Web Drop’. Allows to receive files directly from other people without requiring them to install the Binfer app.
‘Sync Between Devices’. Allows to set up synchronization rules to sync the contents of a folder with one or more devices.
‘Start a Private Conversation’. Allows to chat privately with another Binfer user.
‘Create a Private Drive’. Allows to share a folder on the computer with anyone.
Introducing Private Chat:
Private chat allows for one on one chatting with other Binfer users. Files can also be shared via chat message. It also supports auto-resume of interrupted transfers. Private chat can be started by double clicking on the contact from the right panel.
Significant Improvements To Sync:
Sync function works better than ever with updated algorithms. Files now sync faster than ever and consume much less processing.
Sync deletion feature has been added. This option is only available if “Two-way sync” is selected. When selected, all files deleted from the synced folder by any member will be deleted across all devices on the sync rule. This now allows for true ‘mirroring’ of data across multiple devices.
Several Other Improvements:
Enhanced custom Web Drop and Web Links: embed web drops and web links into the website to receive files.
Updated help pages: existing help pages have been improved with detail descriptions and print screens.

New Contacts View:
Contacts view now shows additional information about the contact's device: name, operating system and remaining disk space. This will help to identify multiple devices easily and know in advance if the device has enough space to receive the files.
New Groups view:
A new groups view has been added under the contacts tab. Devices can be added to one or more groups. Entire group can be selected as recipient of files. When files are added to the group, all members receive the files. A message with same name as the group is created. New files can be added to the group and will download in the same location for the recipient. This way, all project files will be in the same location.
Drag & Drop Files Over Contact or Group:
Instead of creating a new message, files can now be dropped over a contact or group for quick file sharing. Files shared this way will always go into the same message and folder. Both files and folders can be dropped.
Import Contacts From Outlook CSV:
Contacts can be easily imported from Outlook CSV format. Most email providers such as Yahoo or Gmail have capability to output the address book in Outlook CSV.
File Version Control Policy:
When a file is resent, by dropping over a contact, group or chat Message, Binfer can detect that the file has changed and is able to download new version based on the file version control policy. The file receive policy determines if the exisitng file should be kept, replaced or overwritten.
Remove All Files From New Message:
An option has been added to allow removal of all files from the New Message with a single click.
Encrypted URL's For Web Pickup And Web Drop:
All Web App URL's are now encrypted.

License Sharing:
Binfer licenses are associated with a user account. Now, with multi device login, the same license is shared across all devices.Here are some scenarios as to how license sharing can be used:
File transfer between home computers (aka LAN file transfers). Say, you have a Mac and you spouse has a Windows 8.1. You need to copy files between these two devices easily.
With license sharing, you do not need to create two account. Just create one account and login to Binfer from both devices. Purchase a single license associated with that account. Now simply drag and drop file over the other computer(or send them using New Message). Usage is deducted from the shared license.
File transfer between work computers. Say, you need to periodically transfer files between multiple computers located all over the world. Using FTP or Cloud based alternatives to achieve this would be a maintenance nightmare.
With license sharing, this can be done with a single Binfer account. Simply, login with the same account on all computers. All devices will be visible to each other. They are automatically grouped in to "My Devices" group. Now, when you drag and drop files into the "My Devices" group, all your devices will get those files.
