Sync-in 2.1 - UI Refresh

Β· 3 min read

Version 2.1 of Sync-in is now available and introduces a visual refresh of the web interface.

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.

Sync-in UI Refresh

For several years, Sync-in has evolved and grown with new features. Over time, it became natural to revisit the interface to improve consistency and better support current application usage.

From navigation to dialogs, most modules have been revisited to improve readability, consistency, and adaptation to different screen sizes.

✨ Interface Improvements​

  • Visual interface refresh

    Light and dark themes have been harmonized, as well as the main interface components. Interface dimensions and spacing have also been revised to improve readability and visual balance. A new typography has also been adopted to improve readability across all systems and platforms.

  • Navigation and interface organization

    Application navigation has been redesigned with the introduction of a new left navigation sidebar and various adjustments to the navigation bar and side panels. These changes improve interface organization and space usage, while providing better adaptation to different screen sizes.

  • User experience improvements

    Several targeted improvements have been made to make daily use of the application smoother. This includes improvements to search, recent items and notifications display, as well as better visual consistency for certain components such as badges, avatars, and permission indicators.

✨ Features​

  • Added Dutch language (nl) support

  • Added the security.supportPKCE parameter in OIDC configuration
    Allows enabling or disabling the use of the PKCE mechanism.

  • Added the FORCE_PERMISSIONS environment variable for Docker
    Allows forcing recursive permissions application. This option is disabled by default to avoid changing permissions on existing data.

  • Compatibility validated with OnlyOffice DocumentServer 9.3
    Updated the corresponding Docker image.

🐞 Fixes​

  • Timezone fix for MySQL connections
    MySQL connections now consistently use the UTC timezone.

  • PDF indexing fix
    Avoids an unnecessary buffer copy and ensures proper document cleanup after indexing.

  • Fix an access issue affecting some spaces using external paths
    Unreadable directories are now skipped when walking the filesystem to compute sizes and entry counts.

πŸ’» Desktop Client​

The Sync-in Desktop client version 2.1 also benefits from several improvements and fixes.

  • Added Dutch language (nl)
    The client is now available in Dutch.

  • Improved server connection dialog
    The configuration dialog can now be closed using the Cancel button.
