  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.

  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

  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.
