Filecamp Release Notes

If you're curious about what's new in Filecamp — and what's changed — you're in the right place.

Release


We hope the updates you'll read below make it easier for your team to share files and collaborate with your clients and partners. ✨

July 25, 2026 expected

What’s new

  • We’ve simplified user permissions and added Roles. Regular users can now be given one of two clear access levels: Viewer or Editor. This replaces the previous permission options and makes access easier to understand and manage. You can also create Roles and assign multiple users to them instead of configuring each user individually. Roles are the first step toward Single Sign-On (SSO), which we hope to have ready within a few months.
  • We’ve implemented the new Infobar behavior in the Themes and Users sections, so you can keep the Infobar open while browsing and managing themes and users.
  • We’ve made it much easier to log in as another user within the same account. Just click Exit to return to your own login.
  • Multi-folder Home now uses the shared parent folder’s settings, including its banner, when available.

Bug fixes

  • Sharing a single file or folder now creates a regular file or folder share instead of a Collection-style share, regardless of how you start the share.
  • Fixed a bug that could briefly prevent Search from finding items in folders and subfolders just after a folder was renamed.
  • Thumbnails are now generated immediately after files are copied.
TIP: If anything looks off, try refreshing the page to pull in the latest release.
