Nasuni Access Anywhere 2402 Release Notes

For new deployments see Getting Started: Nasuni Access Anywhere Server On-Premises.

For upgrades see Nasuni Access Anywhere 2402.0 Upgrade Guide

Administrators can now manually pause and resume ongoing initial provider syncs and resyncs, which is especially useful during support activities or scheduled maintenance.

Syncs and resyncs will pause automatically if the associated Nasuni Edge Appliance (NEA) becomes unexpectedly unavailable.

No progress is lost during a paused sync or resync. Upon resuming, the operation continues from the last processed folder.

Initial provider syncs and resyncs no longer prevent users from making different file and folder changes through Access Anywhere. This allows administrators to initiate syncs and resyncs during working hours or to start longer syncs that might run across a working day.

Users can now perform cloud folder refreshes, create new folders, upload, replace, and rename files and copy files and folders within or between providers. Some of these operations may be temporarily limited if the sync is currently processing a subfolder or immediate parent.

• SME-8772: checkPathExists no longer returns folder information for a user unless that user has at least read access to that folder. An exception is that for A/B/C/D, when a user has access to A and B and D but has no access to C checkPathExists for A/B/C/D will return success and the folder D details.
