. If Gladinet is defined to convert the files during upload, can define the type of files to be converted. The default lists are ".doc; .rtf; .odt; .ods; .ppt; .pdf"
Some users want Gladinet to not convert any file, to keep the original format. Other prefer Gladinet to convert the documents, to use Google Docs web to edit them. With the changes in 2.0.329, Gladinet can support both type of users.

2.
2.0.329 makes cache management easier. User can choose from 3 predefined cache mode: Lower Cache Usage Mode, Auto Optimized Mode and Advanced Mode.

Lower Cache Usage Mode uses the minimal amount of cache. In most cases, cache should be very small.

Auto Optimized Mode will use about one quarter of the free spaces on the cache drive for cache. When work on files in virtual directory directly, Gladinet will save it to cache.

Advanced Mode will use all the free spaces on the drive for cache.

It is the first tech preview of our 2.0 release.

2.0 release introduces many new features.
. Gladinet Management Console
The new Management Console integrates old virtual directory manager, task manager, settings manager, backup manager and audit trace in one single UI. It is much easier to navigate here, than in 1.x release. Task Manager is re-worked to make task management simpler.

Cache Manager can manage cache easily, including limit cache size and check all cached files.

. Support encryption, compression in folder level.
Can define which folder in Gladinet to encrypt and compress files uploaded.

. Support chunk per virtual directory, instead of global.
Can define which storage to support chunk. And each storage has its own split size.

. Support Mirrored folder
Mirrored folder is a new feature in Gladinet. Mirrored folder keeps syncing with cloud storage.

. New GUI
We re-write Gladinet UI completely.

. Smart Bandwidth Control
Gladinet can slow down network activities when user starts to browse web. When the browser stays idle, Gladinet can resume the regular network speed.

. Better support for Google Docs and Google Docs for Google Apps
In 2.0, user can disable Google Docs conversion when upload files to Google Docs. (http://www.gladinet.com/GladWiki/moin.cgi/How_to_disable_GDOC_CONVERSION)
It removes some limits in old Goolge Docs. It also supports all type files upload in Google Docs for Google Apps.

. New Gladinet Cloud Explorer
Gladinet Cloud Explorer is a new tool to access the mounted storage in Gladinet. It can be useful when Gladinet can't mount the drive. It supports some advanced features. For example, access control in Azure.

For existing XP/2003 users, with Gladinet Cloud Explorer, Gladinet decommissioned Gladinet Virtual Adapter. If you are using Gladinet Virtual Adapter to solve the port 80 conflict, Gladinet will not mount My Gladinet Drive in 2.0. You can use Gladinet Cloud Explorer to access your virtual directory. You can also follow Gladinet Trouble Shooting Guide (http://www.gladinet.com/r/GladinetTroubleShoot.pdf) to solve the port 80 conflict with Gladinet.

. New Wiki Guide
We update our Wiki for 2.0 release.

For details about 2.0 features, please check

Please provide any feedback to us at support@gladinet.com

For regular user, just leave cache as is.

C:\Gladinet is used for file type backup. We'll move it to another location in future release.

It is not possible to create a portable version yet. We'll take a look of it later.

Do you mean you want the file in cache to be updated in real time?

Right now once the file is in cache, it will keep in effect until it times out (Cached file expire time). You can set Cached file expire time to a small value if you want Gladinet always check on cloud storage.

we have a server edition ready shortly, which is subscription based, and it runs as a service.

for pro edition(starter edition is always free)
1.x -> 2.x is free
2.0 -> 2.x is also free
2.x -> 3.x, we are not sure yet, if we can fund our futher development, we will try to make more stuff free. just need to find a balance

Please make sure the file type is defined in the conversion list.

What type of files do you want to convert? Not all types can be converted though.

Please verify the setting the conversion is enabled.
http://www.gladinet.com/GladWiki/moin.cgi/How_to_disable_GDOC_CONVERSION

If the setting is correct, please restart Gladinet.

If the file is still not converted, please contact us at support@gladinet.com.

Thanks for pointing it out. My mistake. :( Just fixed it.

A UI refresh issue.

Move folder is not directly supported. The workaround is to copy the folder by drag&drop. Once it is copied, delete the original folder.
