Update from Micro Focus (February 11 , 2016):

“The current Filr 2.0 build 419 (Filr.x86_64-2.0.0.419.ovf.zip) is going to be removed and re-released next week.
This is because a Microsoft Windows 10 update that was released on Feb 10, 2016 has caused a major issue with the Filr 2.0 Desktop client.

If you have already downloaded and installed Filr 2.0 Build 419, please discard it and wait for an updated release next week.”

Of course, this only applies if you have Windows 10 running. A Patch/FTF will be provided by Micro Focus soon. We will keep you up to date. Contact us for more information.


 

Filr 2.0, the latest version of Micro Focus’ enterprise file management and collaboration tool, has been released.

Contact us for consulting and support with your upgrade. We are looking forward to helping you keeping your Filr installation up to date and to benefit from the new features and improvements. We will be happy to arrange an appointment for an upgrade workshop with you.
