You probably know of Frappe Drive, our file management solution.
While over the past year we’ve added many useful features (like S3 integration, or basic Office files viewing) the biggest thing we’ve heard from users so far is that Drive is completely separate from Frappe Framework/ERPNext. This means that it’s not particularly useful in Desk.
This is changing with Drive v0.4. Now:
-
Drive files are first-class citizens on Desk - they can be used everywhere.
-
You don’t have to use the File list view anymore - Drive offers a powerful and aesthetic frontend over the
Filedoctype. Not only does it just look better, you can also categorize better - create folders and move files into them, or perhaps move them out to a completely separate space. -
Lots of small useful features, like going to the original file record of a duplicated attachment, or viewing all attachments by doctype:
Drive v0.4 is in beta, and we’re looking for testers. Please DM or comment if you’d like to test it out. Alternatively, go ahead and check out feat: redone Framework integration by safwansamsudeen · Pull Request #604 · frappe/drive · GitHub to test.
Looking forward to your feedback!
