Seven months, two zones, a few hundred accounts, and no data lost. That is the whole report. We shipped share links, file hashes and a second zone. We did not ship: a mobile app, team accounts, or anything we could not keep running over the winter break. See you in 2022.
Folder deletion had been leaving a few orphaned file records behind in rare cases. No files were affected; the records pointed at nothing. We fixed the cause and swept the leftovers tonight. If your file count looked one or two higher than it should have, it is correct now.
Our second zone is live in Amsterdam. It is a separate installation: separate accounts, separate storage, its own entry host. If you want an account there, sign up on the Amsterdam host. We will not move an existing Frankfurt account for you, and we say so on purpose.
From today each stored file gets a SHA-256, shown on the file card. A customer last month sent us a zip that arrived two bytes short somewhere between their laptop and us. We could not prove where it broke. Now you can: download, run sha256sum, compare. If the strings match, the bytes are intact. It is a small thing that saves an awkward email.
You can now create a link to a file that expires on its own. Pick 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days or 30 days. We debated longer options and decided against them for now; a link that never dies is a link you forget about.
We started Velravio because moving a studio's files around should not mean losing track of where the data physically sits. The first zone is Frankfurt. One account, one city, a short feature list.
