    QR codes, smarter uploads, no size limit

  3. Upload whole folders

    Aktar 0.9.0 uploads folders: as one ZIP with a single link, or file by file with their subfolders. Hidden files like .env stay out, and photos lose their location.

  4. Photos without their location

    Aktar 0.8.0 removes the GPS location from photos before they're uploaded, or all their metadata, and fixes editing a destination opening an empty form.

  6. Temporary links at upload

  7. Upload profiles

    Aktar 0.5.3 turns destinations into upload profiles: each keeps its own bucket, path, copy format and Delete after, so Builds, Logs and Screenshots each go where they belong.

  8. Test Connection checks your links

    Aktar 0.5.2 makes Test Connection check that shared links open: a bucket that takes uploads but blocks public reads now shows the HTTP error and how to fix it.

  9. Safer auto-delete

    Aktar 0.5.1 makes expiring uploads safer: Aktar only deletes a file itself while the bucket has its rules, and never touches rules it can't read.

  10. Uploads that delete themselves

    Aktar 0.5.0 adds expiring uploads: pick Delete after 1, 7, 14 or 30 days and your bucket deletes the file on schedule, even when Aktar isn't running.
