July Newsletter

Welcome to the SynergyOS Monthly Newsletter for July 2025

This month’s work centered on practical improvements to collaboration and ongoing updates to our backend infrastructure. Below is a summary of what’s new and what we’re working on.

We introduced Folder Auto-Join Links to make it easier to invite many users to a folder at once:

  • Bulk invitations: You can now generate a unique link for any folder, select the type of access (including whether permissions should cascade to subfolders), and specify the user role (Viewer, Editor, etc.).
  • Simple onboarding: Share the link with anyone—once they follow it, they’re immediately added to the folder with the designated permissions, removing the need for manual invitations or approvals.

This is particularly useful for onboarding entire teams, granting access to external collaborators, or reorganizing folder permissions during project changes.

Let's see how it works. First, select the folder and click on Share > Folder auto-join link:

Then, select the type of access and role:

Now, copy the link and send to anyone via email or chat:

The recipients can open the link and complete the log-in and acceptance flow to access the folder:

Backend Improvements: Infrastructure and Reliability​

Much of July’s work was focused on infrastructure. These improvements are not directly visible to end users but are important for long-term stability and performance:

  • Service reliability: We have continued refactoring parts of our backend codebase to make the platform more robust.
  • Scalability: Changes have been implemented to handle larger organizations and higher usage without performance degradation.
  • Preparation for upcoming features: These upgrades are also necessary groundwork for features on our roadmap, such as expanded sharing and federation.

Roadmap​

Planned for August:

  • Ongoing backend upgrades to support future features.
  • Enhanced onboarding flows.

If you have feedback, let us know. Your input helps us prioritize what matters most.
