Cloud storage and file sync service with multi-provider account aggregation

Koofr's iOS app gets a text editor, and public links get minute-level expiry.

◆Current state
Koofr is a privacy-focused cloud storage service working through mobile parity with its web app. The November 3 release adds a text editor to the iOS app, improves editing documents in external apps through the Files integration, lets public links expire down to the minute, and gives paid users custom link passwords. It follows October's Android sharing upgrade.
◆Where it's heading
Since the iOS 4.0 rebuild in June, releases have steadily brought web features to mobile: document scanning, Android link controls, now an iOS editor. Sharing controls get tightened in the same releases, alongside an ongoing effort to recover from repeated DDoS disruptions.
◆Prediction
Expect the text editor to reach Android and more link controls across apps, given the alternating iOS and Android parity releases.

    Improved sharing options on Android app

    Android users can now set passwords, messages and download restrictions on share links, share via QR code, and create receive links that collect files into a folder by email. It continues the mobile-parity push that started with the rebuilt iOS app.
