Great news for your cloud storage management! Managing files across multiple cloud platforms just got significantly easier.

Thorn Tech’s StorageLink version 1.1.4 introduces powerful download capabilities and enterprise-grade enhancements that address the most common pain points in cloud storage management. Now available on AWS and Azure, with Google Cloud deployment of v1.1.4 coming soon, this release transforms how organizations handle bulk file operations and access control.

Why This Update Matters for Your Cloud Storage Workflow

IT teams and businesses struggle with efficiently managing files across different storage platforms. StorageLink 1.1.4 directly addresses these challenges with features that save time, improve security, and enhance user experience. Whether you’re managing corporate documents, development assets, or customer data, these improvements streamline your daily operations.

Revolutionary Download Capabilities That Save Hours of Work

Download Multiple Files as ZIP Archives

Gone are the days of downloading files one by one. StorageLink 1.1.4 introduces intelligent bulk download functionality that allows users to:

  • Select any combination of files and folders
  • Automatically compress selected files into a single ZIP archive
  • Maintain folder structure and file organization within the archive
  • Handle large file sets without browser timeouts or crashes

This feature is particularly valuable for teams that regularly need to share project files, create backups, or distribute content packages to clients or partners.

One-Click Folder Downloads with Complete Structure Preservation

The new folder download capability revolutionizes how users interact with cloud storage:

  • Download entire folder hierarchies with a single action
  • Preserve complete directory structures, including all nested subfolders
  • Maintain file relationships and organization
  • Eliminate the need for third-party compression tools

This functionality proves invaluable for archiving projects, migrating data between systems, or providing comprehensive data exports to stakeholders.

Enhanced Browser Compatibility Through Modern Architecture

StorageLink 1.1.4 eliminates the outdated iframe-based download approach, resulting in:

  • Seamless downloads across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and other modern browsers
  • Improved download stability and reliability
  • Better progress tracking and error handling
  • Reduced memory usage during large file transfers

Enterprise-Grade Features for Secure, Scalable Deployments

PostgreSQL 16 Support: Future-Proof Your Database

  • Limit identity provider logins to pre-authorized StorageLink users
  • Prevent unauthorized access even with valid corporate credentials
  • Maintain detailed audit trails of access attempts
