✨ New Features​

• Favorites
  Files in the personal space, collaborative spaces, and shares can now be added to Favorites and accessed from a dedicated view. The view provides filtering, sorting, location details, and list or gallery layouts.

• Selection management
  Selection mode can now be activated by clicking a file or folder icon. The new Selection panel lists selected items, calculates their total size, including folder contents, and provides direct access to the available actions.

• Unified recent activity
  Recent files and comments are now brought together in a single timeline, grouped by period and filterable by activity type.

• Improved copy, move, and upload workflows
  The copy and move sidebar has been redesigned to make navigation between spaces easier. When conflicts occur, affected files can now be skipped during copy, move, or upload operations.

• Improved full-text search results
  Compound terms such as dates, email addresses, and hyphenated names are now handled more reliably. Invalid trailing operators are normalized, and result snippets provide more accurate highlighting for accented and other Unicode characters, as well as prefix matches.

• Automatic first-login destination
  On their first sign-in, users are automatically redirected to the first file location available to them: their personal space, a collaborative space, or a share.

• Improved interface and accessibility
  The interface has been refined for a more consistent and accessible experience on desktop and mobile. Breadcrumbs and file locations now use the configured names of collaborative spaces and shares. File sidebars, list and gallery view controls, context menus, and copy or move destinations are also clearer. Space navigation remains available during searches.

⚠️ Minor Breaking Changes​

• Verified OIDC email required by default
  auth.oidc.security.requireVerifiedEmail now defaults to true. OIDC providers must return email_verified: true; otherwise, sign-in and profile synchronization are rejected. If a provider cannot supply a reliable value for this claim, administrators must explicitly set the option to false after assessing account-linking risks.

• WebDAV authentication when 2FA is enabled
  The main account password is no longer accepted for WebDAV connections when Sync-in 2FA is enabled. Users must generate a dedicated WebDAV application password from their account security settings.

• Required deployment secrets
  Sync-in configuration templates no longer provide default values for JWT or online editor secrets. Secrets for access and refresh tokens, along with those required by each enabled editor, must be configured before the server starts.

🐞 Fixes​

• Temporary files associated with their destination
  Staging files are no longer created in the user's personal space. They are now placed directly in the temporary directory associated with the operation's destination (the personal space, a collaborative space, an anchored root, or a share) and count toward that destination's storage quota.

• Metadata updates after editing
  File metadata is updated when an editing session ends. Indicators for shares, collaborative spaces, personal spaces, and collaboration are also displayed more consistently.

• Maximum file size enforced across all write paths
  The maxUploadSize limit is now enforced consistently across all file-writing paths: HTTP and WebDAV uploads, synchronization, remote downloads, and editor callbacks. As a result, no incoming file can exceed the configured maximum size.

• Password and 2FA management from OIDC sessions
  Users authenticated through OIDC can now set their local password, manage application passwords, and enable, reset, or disable Sync-in 2FA from their profile.

• SSL verification for online editors
  Sync-in now correctly verifies the SSL certificates of OnlyOffice and Euro-Office servers when the verifySSL option is enabled.

🛡️ Security​

• OIDC binding based on verified identity
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-v745-9jvf-pj46.

  OIDC accounts are now linked using the validated sub claim in the ID token. Email address changes at the identity provider no longer break an existing link, while a compatibility mechanism remains available for legacy accounts that have not yet been linked.

• Safer OnlyOffice callbacks
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-4rg7-mqpm-cgf2.

  Only server-generated temporary file paths are now accepted. Filename and checksum parameters supplied by callbacks can no longer point outside the temporary directory.

• Isolated SVG thumbnails
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-g732-49pc-5rh3.

  SVG thumbnails can no longer load files referenced from the uploaded image's directory.

• Streaming WebDAV quota enforcement
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-fgr8-f8r9-qh38.

  The size of WebDAV uploads without a Content-Length header is now checked as data is received, preventing storage quotas and maximum upload limits from being bypassed.

• Trusted links in notification emails
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-w4p5-q27v-2vgr.

  Action links in notification emails are generated exclusively from the configured server.publicUrl. Untrusted Origin or Host headers can no longer alter these links. When server.publicUrl is not configured, notifications are sent without action links.

• Atomic authentication-secret updates
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-2p67-5v3m-gv27.

  Application password revocations and 2FA state changes are now recorded atomically, preventing concurrent updates from restoring revoked or outdated secrets.

• Secured queries for descendant paths
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-mgqw-2fm5-3v4x.

  Paths used to look up descendant files and folders are now passed to the database as parameters instead of being embedded directly in SQL queries. A maliciously crafted path can therefore no longer alter the executed query.

• Safe rendering of collaborative space information
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-7vcx-jx6f-g5pp.

  Collaborative space names and descriptions are now rendered safely, preventing malicious HTML injection and stored cross-site scripting attacks.

• External sharing permission check
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-vpmh-xvx9-385r.

  When a share was created from a file in a collaborative space, Sync-in already limited member and link permissions to those the user actually held for the space and its root. However, it did not verify the dedicated SHARE_OUTSIDE permission ("Share outside"), which is required to share content outside the collaborative space. This check is now performed before the share is created.

• Strict names, aliases, and storage paths
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-r8c3-2pf9-xprv.

  Collaborative space and share names and aliases are now strictly validated, and storage paths are restricted to their intended roots. Malformed aliases can no longer target data belonging to another collaborative space.

📥 Upgrade to Sync-in 2.5 for more efficient file management, easier navigation, and stronger authentication and storage protections.

It adds Euro-Office support as a new online document editor, improves file task management with a task queue, clearer tracking for long-running operations, and cancellation of some actions from the task panel. It also strengthens authentication and synchronization security, and brings several reliability improvements.

✨ New Features​

• Euro-Office editor support
  Euro-Office is now supported as an additional online document editor, alongside OnlyOffice and Collabora.

• Cancellation from the task panel
  Uploads, downloads, archive creation, extraction, copies, moves, and deletions can now be canceled from the task panel.

• Task queue
  File-related tasks are now queued and limited per user to avoid running too many heavy operations in parallel.

• More detailed task progress
  Some long-running tasks now show more detailed progress when the operation allows it, instead of only showing a running state.

• ZIP archive support
  Sync-in can now create ZIP archives, in addition to the existing TAR and TGZ formats.

• Optional OIDC verified email check
  Administrators can now require OIDC users to have a verified email address before account linking or profile synchronization.

• Grouped editor configuration
  Editor settings are now grouped under applications.files.editors.

  The previous applications.files.onlyoffice and applications.files.collabora settings are still supported for now, but are deprecated.

🐞 Fixes​

• More reliable URL downloads
  URL imports now better handle servers that compress content, preventing size errors or incomplete downloads.

• CJK full-text search support
  Full-text search now supports Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text, as well as other languages that are not separated by spaces.

• Text and Markdown editor fixes
  Text and Markdown editors now preserve focus more reliably, detect changes correctly and refresh the file size after saving.

• More reliable filtered selection
  File selection stays more consistent when the list is filtered, especially during multi-selection.

• More reliable server startup
  MySQL connection errors are now detected earlier, with a clean exit to allow automatic restart.

• More reliable configuration loading
  Sensitive values wrapped in single quotes, such as secrets, database URLs, and initial credentials, are now loaded without keeping the quotes in the final value.

🛡️ Security​

• Stronger 2FA enforcement for API tokens
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-92cr-jxw4-5wjg.

  Users with 2FA enabled could obtain API tokens after validating only their login and password. API tokens now require the second factor as expected.

• Stronger protection against repeated TOTP attempts
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-274f-6w77-8qm9.

  Failed TOTP attempts during desktop sync client registration are now counted correctly, including repeated or concurrent attempts.

• Safer sync filters
  Fixed vulnerability GHSA-jx63-h26r-8cph.

  Malicious sync filters could overload the server during synchronization. Filters are now validated and limited before being used.

• Safer synchronization uploads
  Uploaded files are now checked before replacing the final file, keeping the existing file unchanged in case of size, quota, or checksum errors.

• Sessions better aligned with account state
  Browser and WebSocket sessions now better reflect account changes, including roles, permissions, and active/inactive status.

• OIDC and LDAP hardening
  The new OIDC directives security.requireVerifiedEmail and security.allowPrivateIpAvatarDownload respectively allow administrators to require a verified email address and explicitly allow avatars served from private or internal IP ranges.

  Defaults have also been hardened: security.allowInsecureRequests, options.enablePasswordAuth for OIDC, and options.enablePasswordAuthFallback for LDAP are now disabled by default. Administrator break-glass access remains available.

• Stricter user login validation
  Logins from external identity providers are now limited to valid names, preventing them from being interpreted as file paths.

• Safer archive extraction
  Sync-in now better blocks unexpected paths inside archives, cleans up interrupted extractions, and applies storage quotas during extraction.

📥 Upgrade to Sync-in 2.4 to benefit from Euro-Office support, improved file task management, and important security and reliability improvements.

This support will help us provide signed Sync-in Windows desktop applications to the community.

Through SignPath Foundation, open-source projects can access code signing in a way that is designed for community software: the certificate is provided by SignPath Foundation, and SignPath.io helps connect the signed binary back to the project's source repository and release process.

For Sync-in, this means official Windows desktop application executables and installers can be distributed with a valid signature, instead of unsigned files. Releases will be easier to identify for users, easier to assess for administrators, and better aligned with the security expectations around modern software distribution.

In practice, this will help us:

• publish signed Sync-in Windows desktop application executables and installers
• reduce the friction and uncertainty caused by unsigned application downloads
• give users and organizations a stronger basis for trusting the Windows distribution channel

Free code signing is provided by SignPath.io, with the certificate provided by SignPath Foundation.

Many thanks to SignPath for supporting open-source projects and helping make secure software distribution more accessible to communities like ours.

It introduces an integrated Markdown editor, improves file editing and search, adds an optional trash retention policy, and adds support for storage quotas through OIDC/LDAP. It also strengthens content indexing, uploads, and user visibility rules.

✨ New Features​

• Markdown editor
  Markdown files now open in a dedicated editor with visual and source modes.

  The editor supports headings, lists, task lists, links, images, tables, code blocks, quotes, undo/redo, file locking, saving, and protection against closing with unsaved changes.

• Unified search for text editors
  Text and Markdown editors now share a common search interface with a result counter and previous/next navigation.

• Configurable document creation
  Administrators can configure the document families shown in the "New document" window.

  Text and Markdown always remain available, while OpenDocument and Microsoft Office templates can be shown or hidden.

  applications:
    files:
      sampleDocuments: [opendocument, microsoft]
  

• Optional trash retention
  The trash can now be cleaned automatically after a configurable number of days, separately for personal spaces and collaborative spaces.

  Configuration example:

  applications:
    files:
      trashRetention:
        users: 30
        spaces: 30
  

  This feature is disabled by default to preserve the existing behavior.

• Improved content indexing
  Full-text indexing is more memory-efficient and more robust on large instances.

  It uses batched metadata processing, deferred full indexing requests, new states such as pending and disabled, and safer cleanup of obsolete index entries.

• OIDC avatar synchronization
  User avatars can now be synchronized from the OIDC picture field.

  Remote avatars are validated, size-checked, converted to PNG, and ignored when they are already up to date.

• Quota synchronization through LDAP and OIDC
  User storage quotas can now be synchronized from an LDAP attribute or an OIDC claim.

  auth:
    ldap:
      attributes:
        storageQuota: storageQuota
  
    oidc:
      options:
        storageQuotaClaim: storageQuota
  

• Configurable visibility for users without a group
  Instances can now control whether users without a group are globally visible.

  By default, showUngroupedUsers is true to preserve the existing behavior. Set it to false to prevent this global visibility.

  Example for disabling this visibility:

  applications:
    users:
      showUngroupedUsers: false
  

• More reliable text file detection
  Files without an extension or with a generic MIME type are now analyzed more precisely before opening.

  Sync-in checks part of the content to distinguish real text files from binary files. Incompatible files are then offered for download instead of being opened in the text editor.

• Increased size limit for text and Markdown editing
  The maximum size allowed for editing text and Markdown files has been increased from 10 MB to 25 MB, to better support Markdown files containing base64-encoded images.

🐞 Fixes​

• Fixed temporary path creation for guest links
  Temporary paths for accounts associated with guest links are now created correctly.

• Stronger uniqueness constraints on file storage
  A more robust uniqueness check has been added to database storage for files and their metadata, to prevent the same file from being stored more than once in some rare cases.

• More reliable unlocking of edited files
  Locks on editable files are now released more reliably when editors and the browser are closed.

  A browser confirmation has also been added when a file is being edited, to reduce accidental closures. This notably fixes cases where a text file without an extension could remain locked after closing, including when the editing window was closed automatically.

• MIME type update after renaming or moving
  A file's MIME type is now recalculated dynamically after renaming, moving, or replacing it.

• Display of trash for disabled collaborative spaces
  Trash associated with disabled collaborative spaces is now displayed as disabled and can no longer be browsed.

• Improved file selection
  Range selection works more reliably when filtering is enabled.

  Renaming now selects only the file name, without its extension, to avoid input mistakes while editing.

• Web interface
  Several interface details have been harmonized, including sidebar submenu visibility, table row height, dialog spacing, and viewer tooltips.

🛡️ Security​

• Immutability of trash associated with spaces
  Files in the trash are now immutable and treated as read-only items.

  Modifying files in the trash and creating new files there are now blocked.

• More reliable uploads
  Failed uploads are no longer kept in the destination space.

  File replacements also use temporary files before replacing the destination, to avoid corrupting an existing file in case of failure or when the maximum allowed size is exceeded. Exceeding this limit now also returns a more explicit message.

• Better guest link isolation
  Accounts created from guest links now have restricted visibility over users and groups, limited to their managers and the personal groups they belong to.

• Stronger security for URL downloads
  Fixed vulnerability CVE-2026-47684.

  SSRF protection has been strengthened, notably against bypasses through IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. Remote downloads are also better protected against DNS rebinding, unsafe redirects, proxy bypasses, and oversized data streams.

📥 Upgrade to Sync-in 2.3 to benefit from the new Markdown editor, safer trash, stronger indexing, and all reliability improvements.

➡️ View the release on GitHub

This program supports active open-source projects that are carefully maintained and distributed through Docker Hub.

For Sync-in, this is an important milestone. It recognizes the work behind an open-source platform that is useful, maintained for the long term, and designed for people and teams who want to keep control of their data.

Beyond this recognition, it is also great news for users: public images under the Sync-in namespace are no longer subject to Docker Hub pull rate limits.

Thank you to Docker for this support, and above all, a big thank you to everyone using, testing, sharing, or contributing to Sync-in.

Your feedback and contributions help move the platform forward ❤️

• Fixed encoding of special characters in certain URLs
  Some URLs containing special characters, such as #, and pointing to files were not properly encoded.

• Hardened group and guest management
  Several fixes improve name handling, cache invalidation, guest account renaming, and prevent assigning a guest as manager.

• Web interface
  Various visual and usability fixes, including font sizes, tooltips, notifications, and certain input fields.

🛡️ Security​

• Basic Auth security hardening
  The cache key is now based on a hash, eliminating case-related collisions and preventing the storage of decodable identifiers.

• Fixed a security vulnerability: CVE-2026-41161
  A flaw allowed user account enumeration via the login endpoint through response time analysis, particularly in brute-force scenarios.

📥 Upgrade to Sync-in 2.2 now to benefit from all fixes and improvements.

➡️ View the release on GitHub

This release brings many improvements to the user experience, with an interface that is clearer, more consistent, and more uniform.

We also invite you to discover and test this new interface directly on our demo instance.
