Changelog

Every WiFiDrop release, newest first.

0.1.2 beta · October 18, 2026

  • The data folder moves from %ProgramData%\FileDrop to %ProgramData%\WiFiDrop automatically the first time WiFiDrop starts. Nothing is lost; if it can't be moved, WiFiDrop keeps using the old folder.
  • Tidier internals: the last FileDrop names inside the app are now WiFiDrop.

0.1.1 beta · October 18, 2026

  • FileDrop is now WiFiDrop, with a new home at wifidrop.ca.
  • Updating keeps your files, accounts, settings and Pro licence. The installer removes the old FileDrop startup entry and firewall rule.

0.1.0 beta · October 16, 2026

First public beta.

  • Desktop admin window with tray icon; closing the window keeps WiFiDrop running.
  • Choose the storage folder at first run and move it later.
  • User accounts with temporary passwords, suspend, reset and delete.
  • Private folders, subfolders, move, rename and Trash with restore.
  • Shared folders with View, Upload and Manage access.
