|---|---|---|---|
| FTP Distribution | You can now set up a set of destination FTP/FTPS servers so a single upload to ZenTransfer can distribute a file to multiple destinations. | ||
| Email Notifications | You can set up a list of users that will receive notifications via email when new files are uploaded. (We are working on SMS notifications.) You can enable/disable these individually, so that you can easily change who receives events at any given time. | ||
| Additional users | You can now create more users for FTP access, e.g. for multiple cameras, collaborators, etc. These have access only to submit files, not to your dashboard or settings. They can be enabled/disabled individually, and you can set a time limit so an account is e.g. open only 3 days (e.g. for the duration of an event). | ||
| Custom webhooks | You can now connect any system via custom webhooks. The server must be able to receive a POST request with JSON data in our API format. This is an alternative to Zapier for those in control of their own server(s) or using other integration services. | ||
| GCP | ZenTransfer can now send to Google Cloud Platform buckets. |

| Add Metadata to images | Create one or more metadata templates. Click the Metadata button in the Dashboard. All enabled templates will be combined and written into XMP and IPTC of your transferred files. Typically you'll want to create one template with your default info and one for the job you're currently doing. Only fields with values are used. Template are applied in alphabetical order based on their names. Non-image files will be ignored. |

| Adobe Lightroom | ZenTransfer can now send photos to your Adobe Lightroom Catalog | ||
| OneDrive | ZenTransfer now natively supports Microsoft OneDrive. Perfect for you Office users out there! |
- AND THANKS! So much interest that we're overwhelmed by free trials and costs for that. I've had to limit free trial signups, you can now get on a waiting list and we'll approve new batches of users every 7 days or so. Added a counter on the home page to show how many are using the service (files transferred, almost real time counter).
