Releases

What changed in each version of DooFiles, newest first, and how to check and update your version.

Last updated: Oct 31, 2026

Overview

This page lists what changed in each version of DooFiles, newest first.

Your version appears in the plugins list of WordPress and at the bottom of the settings, for example in DooFiles › License.

Updates arrive in Dashboard › Updates and in the plugins list, with your license active. Click View details to read what changed before you update. See Installation.

Your settings, your activity log, the Trash and the backups are kept when you update.

v1.1.0 — October 31, 2026

  • Cloudflare R2: connect your R2 account in the new DooFiles › Storage tab, add up to 20 buckets, and open them in the file manager, under Cloudflare R2 in the tree. See Cloudflare R2.
  • Inside a bucket you can upload files and folders (large files in parts), create folders, rename, move, also between buckets, delete to the Trash, download and preview, with thumbnails of images.
  • Drag files between your site and a bucket to copy them, up to 500 at a time.
  • Large folders of a bucket are moved, deleted and restored in rounds, with a notice that counts the files.
  • The Trash also holds what you delete from a bucket, with a cloud next to its original location, and the old file when you replace one, since R2 keeps no versions. The Activity log records the new actions.
  • The folder of your site can be folded in the tree, and DooFiles remembers it.
  • Amazon S3 is coming soon.

v1.0.19 — October 31, 2026

  • The scan in Space no longer stays on Measuring… forever when a folder has more files than your server can read in one go. DooFiles skips that folder so the scan can finish, and notes it in Activity. See Space.
  • When the server does not answer in time, Space says so and tries again on its own.
  • A scan interrupted by the server continues on its own in the background, also the integrity check.

v1.0.18 — October 31, 2026

  • The image editor keeps the quality you choose when you save in another format, such as a PNG saved as WebP or JPEG. Thumbnails also come out lighter.
  • Dashboard › Updates no longer says the new version of DooFiles was not tested with your version of WordPress.
  • In the dark theme, the color scheme of your WordPress profile marks the focus ring, the active tab, the upload progress and the area where you drop files.
  • Red buttons and links, such as Empty trash or Disconnect all, show their focus ring in red.

v1.0.17 — October 29, 2026

  • Hindi: DooFiles is translated into Hindi, in polite Hindi with the technical words people use in India. See Translations.
  • View details, in your list of plugins and in Dashboard › Updates, shows the full description of DooFiles, how to install it and its frequently asked questions.
  • WordPress no longer says DooFiles was not tested with your version on a minor release, such as 7.1.4.
  • Messages, notices and links that pointed to the old Settings entry now open the right tab: Security, Files, Mobile access or License.

v1.0.16 — October 27, 2026

  • Your devices and the Connect a device window show the mark of the DooFiles app as a soft watermark in a corner, in the light and dark themes.

v1.0.15 — October 27, 2026

  • Settings in tabs: Security, Files, Mobile access and License, each with its own entry in the DooFiles menu, below a separator, and its own address, such as #mobile. The page opens on the tab you used last, and a dot marks a tab with unsaved changes. See Settings.
  • Connect a device: the QR code closes by itself as soon as the device connects, and Your devices shows it right away.

v1.0.14 — October 27, 2026

  • Organize files from your phone: with the new Let devices organize files setting in Mobile access, off by default, a connected device can create folders, rename, move, send to the Trash and restore, always inside your private folders. The Trash of the app only shows what came from your private folders, and emptying it is only done on the site. See Mobile access.
  • Scan now from your phone: the Space and Integrity screens of the app can scan your site again, once a minute, with the same scan as the Space view.
  • Your devices has its own card, below Mobile access, always open and with the number of devices you connected. Each device shows an icon next to its name.
  • When the Doothemes service asks to wait because of too many requests, the Feedback card says in how many minutes to try again, instead of a general error.

v1.0.13 — October 26, 2026

  • Mobile access: connect your phone or tablet with a QR code and open your private folders from the DooFiles app at connect.doofiles.com. View photos, play videos and music, download and upload files, and see the Space totals and the last integrity check. See Mobile access.
  • A new Mobile access card in DooFiles › Settings, off by default: turn it on for the whole site, choose how many devices each administrator can connect and how many days a device stays connected without use, and disconnect any device at any time.
  • A connected device only reaches the private folders of its administrator. It never renames, moves or deletes files, and never uploads PHP or server files.
  • The activity log records each code, connection and disconnection, and every time a device asks for something outside its private folders.

v1.0.12 — October 26, 2026

  • Audio in the media viewer: MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, Opus and FLAC files play with the same player as the videos, over the cover of the album, with the title, the artist and the album from their tags. The Details panel lists the tags, and the cinematic lighting takes the colors of the cover. See Media viewer.
  • MKV videos open in the media viewer when your browser can play them. When it cannot, the viewer says so and offers to download the file.
  • Thumbnails: audio files with a cover show it in the file list, with a ▶ over it, and MKV videos get a thumbnail too.
  • The uploads panel is made of glass, so you can see the folder behind it, and in the dark theme a soft glow runs along the edge of the expanded panel while files are uploading.
  • In the dark theme, the alternate rows of the tables are softer, so the selected rows stand out.
  • Fixes: the column titles of the tables stay on one line in every language, the messages of your server follow the language of your profile, and the expanded uploads panel darkens the page behind it again.

  • Files that do not match: a card next to the totals of the Space view says how many files the integrity check found that are not the original ones.
  • The folder of DooFiles is marked protected, and it cannot be moved, renamed or deleted from DooFiles.
  • Fixes: the buttons above the crop box stay bright while you crop, and the name of the file manager and the titles of the uploads panel fit on one line in every language.

v1.0.10 — October 26, 2026

  • Eleven more languages: Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Russian. Regional variants, such as Spanish from Mexico or Canadian French, use the closest translation instead of English.

v1.0.6 — October 24, 2026

  • Uploads on slow connections behind Cloudflare no longer fail with a 502. Files over 1 MB go up in parts whose size adapts to your connection, and a part that fails is retried on its own.
  • The uploads panel is wider, so its footer fits on one line.
  • In the expanded uploads view, the progress bar of each file sits under its status.

v1.0.3 — October 24, 2026

  • A new uploads panel: follow, pause, resume, cancel or retry each file or all of them, in the In progress and Completed tabs. Drag it anywhere, minimize it or expand it. It remembers how you left it.
  • Large files go up in parts, so they can be larger than the upload limit of your server, up to the size you set (2 GB by default). Pausing continues from the last part.
  • Finished uploads stay in the Completed tab for 10 minutes, even after a reload. In the expanded view, sort them by name, size, speed or type.
  • A short chime when uploads finish, and a progress circle at the bottom of the panel.
  • The activity log keeps up to 50,000 entries by default, so it does not grow without end. Change it with Most activity entries in DooFiles › Settings › Trash, backups and activity.
