We are pleased to announce the latest version of Syncdocs, version 6.951.
The release contains some minor fixes to stay compatible with the the latest Windows 10 release, and high DPI touch screens.
IT also contains the latest Google Drive API to stay compatible and secure with Google's updates to Drive, security and Photos.

Roadmap
This is one of the last maintenance releases of the 6.x Syncdocs series. We will be releasing Syncdocs 7 soon. Syncdocs 7 will require .NET 4.5 due to Google TLS security improvements. These crypto libraries are no in .NET 3.5 or .NET 4. This means that Syncdocs 7 will not work on Windows 2000, XP or Server 2003, unless .NET 4.5 is installed on these systems, which it is not by default.

We will release a separate build for these operating systems, but this will not have the new features of Syncdocs 7, or support for the latest Google features like Team Drive.

How to Update
The upgrade is free and will happen automatically. The old Syncdocs version should ask if you want to update automatically in the next few days.

To update now, right click on the Syncdocs taskbar icon, go to Preferences -> Advanced -> “Check for Updates”.

You can also download the new version and install it over the old one.

The 64 bit and portable (USB memory stick) versions are also updated to version 6.951 and can also be downloaded from http://www.syncdocs.com/download-syncdocs

The portable versions now contain a link to the update files, as portable versions do not auto-update as they could be running from a USB memory stick.

Hi Andrew,

I am having lots of our 160 customers calling me in the past few days in order to again enter administrator credentials for the current upgrade to 6.951.32.509.

The weird thing about it is that after I enter my credentials on the server (2012R2) I then go back and check if it really updated to the latest version and then it does the download again but without any need for credentials. Final checking confirms that this second update brought the customer to the latest version and I am done.

Could you please check that the fix you implemented earlier around 10 March as shown in your post to me then, really did get fixed:

1. Hi Sambodh,
We have fixed the issue with the updater. The problem was that the shortcut for the 64bit version was being created in all user's Start menu group instead of only the current user's group on Server clients. This problem is now fixed and tested.
I your users have already updated to the yesterdays version, then they will still see the UAC Admin permissions box on updating to today's version. This is a once off prompt.
If they are still running the old version, then they will not see any prompts, as per usual.
My apologies for this issue with the update permissions on Server.

Hi Sam,
I've just double checked and the screw up we made with the "Common" Start Menu Folder instead of the "Current User" Start Menu Server folder has not been repeated. In other words it should not require any Administrator permissions.

However, if they gave the Administrator permission to update to 6.931 before we fixed it before, they will need it to upgrade to 6.951 now, in order to undo those changes. This is the last time they will need it, as this is a once off prompt. Once again my apologies for the update permissions on Server.
