The File LockerLock files on your iPhone follow on twitter @thefilelocker

Looks like there is an intermittent bug with the File locker Cloud functionality for some files, when downloading from the Cloud service.

After recieving an email from a user. I investigated a little further and found that there is an issue when trying to download JPG files uploaded to the File Locker Cloud. The same file saved as a PNG worked fine, even using the same file and downloading using the Web  URL action in the app worked as expected, though failed to show in the file list when downloaded using the Cloud…

What does this mean…

1. I’m fixing it, and the next update will have the correction.

2. If you can save the file as a PNG, then use the Cloud.

It’ll be fixed soon.

Here’s a few comments from some the users.

From Loopguy99 on iTunes

If you want a basic password-protected folder then this is your ap. Thnx. Wish there is an option to return the file to it’s original folder if u change ur mind. It would have garnered 5 stars if it is included in the files one can browse from when looking to attach a pic to an email or text.

Our response… [ your request is on the list...]

From Norman iTunes

This application is exactly what I needed! It allows me to keep my private information PRIVATE!! I do however have one request for the developer for the next ‘update’. Would it be possible to allow the “Swipe” feature while looking at pictures? It is a little confusing to have to go back to the menu page each time you want to look at a different picture. Other than that…. this App is PERFECT!!!!!

Our response… [ your request is on the list... not sure if this will make the next release but soon for sure]

It’s always good to read the feedback from the users. As a result the app improves and provides a better experience for everyone. I read all the comments on thefilelocker.com web site, iTunes and emails. Everything is taking into consideration and more often than not suggestions are implemented. Some of the features that have been suggested:

1. movie save and playback
2. notes feature

So if you have a comment or feature request send a message… then leave an iTunes rating or review.

So happy to say that this was a very fast turn around on the review and approval process. Less than 10 days…

So this means that the new functionality is now ready and the Cloud service is ready for use.

Whats new for 1.3

AddFileView
- Support for MOV/M4V/MP4/MP3 files
- support for thefilelocker.com cloud service
DisplayFileView
- movie file play

Download from our cloud service.
The most important part in the “Cloud Service”. This basically means that if you need to get a file into File Locker then upload to our server, where you’ll be given an anonymous short url like “jk3er.jpg”, that you enter into the relevant screen in the app and the file will be downloaded to your device and removed from the server.

This is a new feature that will lead to other options in the new future.
More information when details are finalised.

If you haven’t got The File Locker go get it.

File Locker Free gets an update as well. In the new version of our free app you’ll get the create and edit text file feature. This is very handy to create those lists of things you want but not allow anyone to be able to see. These updates are only a few weeks away.

For all the users of File Locker either the free or paid versions, it would be very appreciated if you could leave some feedback and a rating on iTunes.

There are well over 5000 users of the app in both versions.

A small request to help us out.

We also welcome feedback to the website via the contact form or via twitter now so you can follow us on twitter to get the latest news from the dev team.

So here for comment page

or here for @thefilelocker on twitter
Thanks

A quick note to mention that thefilelocker now has a specific twitter account where there will be updates and tips posted for the best ways to use The File Locker, it’s hoped that user will offer feedback and suggestions as well. so head over to Twitter and follow @thefilelocker.
