 +We have dropped support for TLSv1.0 and now only support TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2.  This change is in keeping up with the compliance requirements of PCI DSS regarding acceptable encryption.  June is the last month the TLSv1.0 is permitted for this regulation.
  
-====== CloudDav ======+Windows 7 did not ship with support for TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2, whereas Windows 10 did.  Microsoft does have an article on patching this issue here:

- +There are two options available to be set after login to the Storage Made Easy website and visiting the "**//My DashBoard//**" link on the right sidebar.\\ \\ The first option is whether to disable file versioning if using CloudDavBy default this will be set to "on"When creating or editing files this stops previous version being kept and versioned.\\ \\ The second option is whether to always update, on access, the Storage Made Easy cache when viewing files over CloudDavThis means that Storage Made Easy will always check directly with the Clouds that you are using rather than using the cache. This has the advantage that you will always see any new files that you added direct to these Clouds but has the disadvantage that it could be slower on the initial view of each directory.

-If you added files externally to your Cloud Provider and you cannot see them via CloudDav then you either need to enable the **//CloudDav real-time refresh//** from the CloudDav options available from your **//Cloud Dashboard//** on the website, or you need to do a manual refresh of your Cloud Files Cache.. To understand how to do a manual refresh please see [[top5things#step4|here]]. +

-In the later version of iWork there seems to be a bug in which the files is copied but then is copied again (twice)We have debugged this and we see that on the first copy iWork sends the file without Auth headers (authentication) and then when this fails sends it again but with the Auth headers. The save actually works fine, it just takes a little longer. We hope Apple will fix this in a future version. +

-SME Encrypted files that are uploaded where the end user holds the encryption key (ie. not stored in SME) are not displayed from a WebDav client connection as it makes no sense to show them as they cannot be un-encrypted from a standard WebDav client. +

-If you are trying to map a network drive using SME CloudDav on any version of windows from XP onwards then we would recommend you install [[https://storagemadeeasy.com/files/c9ba9faf6bc655f98572b287a34af379.reg|these registry fixes]] that solve many issues with Windows WebDAV, including authentication and correct working with Office 2010+. +
