Discription

This release marks a big milestone in the development of Thumbcloud, because it is the first version which can be used to share files. Uploading, downloading, browsing trough folders, creating sub-folders, all those essential features are now implemented. 😊

However, many features are still missing, for example it is not possible to delete files or folders, nor get the user notifications if the content of a folder changed. The application also requires the user to start it from the terminal.
