Gallery gets a massive overhaul

One of the highlights of this month is the overhaul we made to the Gallery.

The Gallery is now faster, smoother, and packed with more features.

Major improvements include:

• Photo Albums

• Quick photo management

• Precise timeline scrolling

• Filter by photos or videos

• Faster thumbnail loading

• Drag-to-select multiple items

• Pinch to zoom grid tile sizes

• Instant video thumbnails

• Live Photo playback

• EXIF metadata for videos

We're still improving the Gallery even after the overhaul and we're proud of what we've built so far.

Sign rebuilt from the ground up

Today, signing documents is faster, easier, and accessible on both web and mobile.

Sign used to be slow and limited. So we rebuilt it from scratch, added highly requested features, and made it more powerful.

New features include:

• Signer ordering

• New field config UI

• Auto field detection

• Document search

• Next field navigation

• Audit trail and signed PDF download

• Modernized UI

• Page navigation sidebar

• Print and download support

• Better zoom controls

This is the biggest change Sign has ever seen and it's just the beginning.

File Previews get a major upgrade

Our preview system just got a significant upgrade and handles more file formats than before.

You can now preview inside archives and see animated previews for some image formats. You won't need to download any of them first.

• Archive file preview for ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, TGZ, and BZ2

• Preview without extraction for files inside archives including nested ones

• Selective file downloads inside archives

• Animated preview for GIF, APNG, WebP, and AVIF

• Support for more image file formats including RAW, CR2, and CR3

• Support for more 3D files including AMF, OFF, WRL, BIM and many more

Drime preview support took a big leap this month. For a comprehensive list of supported file types and file formats, check out this post on our official subreddit.

Upload Manager refinements

We introduced a new flyout panel to the Upload Manager that lets you see more and do more.

New capabilities include:

• Track transfer status, file type and destination folder

• Search and clear completed uploads

• Retry button to manually restart failed uploads

Now you can stay on top of your uploads even better than before.

Mobile App highlights

We're improving the mobile experience and bringing in key web features over time.

Recent additions include:

• Sign

• Gallery Overhaul

• Document editing

• New image and video editors

• Background playback

• Faster video streaming

• Automatic backups for multiple workspaces

Roadmap and Tech blog post

The public roadmap is finally coming in July. We held off until it could accurately reflect what we're actually building rather than features that were not ready. It's something we've been preparing for a while and it's almost here.

As for the technical blog, it's nearly done. We spent the last few weeks prioritizing infrastructure changes. It wasn't the most visible work, but it needed to happen first.

We'll have more to share once they're live.

Coming in July

We know you're eager about what we have lined up for July, so here's what you can look forward to.

We'll be pushing more infrastructure improvements across the board. That means faster load times, smoother sync, and a more reliable platform overall.

The main focus will be the long-awaited macOS Desktop V2, rebuilt from the ground up. This will be our most significant Desktop release thus far.

We're aiming to have a beta ready soon. Once it's polished, we're making the macOS Desktop client open source for everyone, a promise we're finally fulfilling.

Thank you

June brought big changes to Drime. Gallery overhaul and Photo Albums made browsing media smoother. Sign rebuild made signing simpler. And file preview expanded to support more file formats than ever.

Back in mid-June, we started posting weekly Highlights on our subreddit, almost like a mini blog covering everything we rolled out that week. They have received a ton of praise ever since. Thank you for supporting our push to keep you in the loop.

We appreciate every piece of feedback, bug report, and feature request we receive. Much of what we released this month came straight from you.

Truth is, this is just the start.
