Behind the cloud – December 2025 update
9 min read

December has been a dense and important month for Drime. As the year comes to an end, our focus has been clear: stability, polish, and preparing the foundations for a very ambitious start to 2026. Most of the work this month has happened behind the scenes, but it directly improves how reliable, smooth, and predictable Drime feels in daily use.
Web improvements and fixes
Between December 1 and December 24, we shipped a large number of improvements across the web app.
Sharing and collaboration
You can now share files and folders by email with people who do not have a Drime account. No signup is required to receive content.
Improved email UI for sharing, notifications, and eSignatures.
Added more precise timestamps in Send and Track, including the exact day and time.
Fixed an issue where deleting a shared link did not always fully revoke access.
Fixed custom workspace permissions not updating correctly in some cases.
Uploads, downloads, and files
Fixed download issues where ZIP archives were sometimes partially downloaded for both small and large folders.
Improved global reliability of ZIP generation and downloads.
Fixed file versioning not updating correctly in specific edge cases.
Updated the ZIP file icon after feedback that it was too subtle compared to folders.
Fixed an issue where shared videos could fail to load in the browser.
UI and productivity
Added colored folders in the sidebar for better visual organization.
Several small UI and UX refinements across the interface.
Various visual fixes and consistency improvements.
Infrastructure
Upcoming database server migration scheduled in the coming days. This will significantly reduce micro outages and improve overall performance and loading times.
Multiple backend database optimizations to further increase global reliability.
Mobile
We continued rolling out updates to the mobile beta.
A new beta version has been sent to additional testers.
We are now waiting for a final build with the remaining fixes before the public release.
This new mobile foundation will allow us to ship updates much faster in the future, especially for highly requested features.
Infrastructure and long term projects
Several major projects made strong progress in December.
The Rclone integration is nearing completion. Progress has been very solid and this feature is getting close to its first public version.
Drime Vault V2 is planned for the end of January 2026. It will introduce new capabilities, better performance, and a true zero knowledge architecture.
Continued work on long term infrastructure changes that will unlock faster uploads, better scalability, and smoother updates across the platform.
Team growth
Starting January 2026, our team will grow.
This is a major step for us and something we are very excited about. It will allow us to ship fixes, improvements, and new features even more efficiently, while staying focused on quality and stability.
Looking ahead to 2026
2026 is the year of Drime.
From January onward, you will see:
Faster and more frequent updates
The release of several highly requested features
Major improvements to desktop, mobile, Vault, and integrations
Continued focus on stability, security, and performance
Many of the changes we have been working on for months are about to become visible.
Closing words
December was about strengthening the core and setting the stage for what comes next.
Thank you for your trust, your feedback, your bug reports, and your patience. Every report helps us improve, and we truly read and act on them.
We wish you a happy new year, and we are very excited to build 2026 together with you.
