🚀 What's Next?

We're thrilled to announce that the next planned update (version 0.5) for Spacedrive will mark a significant milestone as we transition from the Alpha stage to a full Beta release. This major update will introduce the highly anticipated cloud sync and P2P (peer-to-peer) capabilities, allowing seamless file synchronization across devices and improved collaboration.

With 0.5, we'll also be super excited to unveil the Alpha release of our mobile app! Users can additionally look forward to a variety of smaller features and UI updates to explore across the board.

Thank you for using Spacedrive — we hope you're all as excited as we are for this upcoming release!
