*NOW AVAILABLE: Easy Drag and Drop Upload with DuraCloud 2.4.0*

*Winchester, MA*  Today the DuraSpace organization announced the release of
DuraCloud 2.4.0. The latest version of DuraCloud offers
customers significantly improved content upload and download
capabilities including the drag and drop upload feature, installers that
make it easy to use the Sync Tool, and more. DuraCloud (http://duracloud.org)
is an archiving and preservation service that gives users the choice of
where to store their content while providing a suite of services that
ensure their content's long term accessibility.

*Primary features of the 2.4.0 release are:*

*Improved Content Upload:*

• DuraCloud now provides the option to upload files using the familiar
file selector or with simple drag and drop through the web interface.
• New Sync Tool installers provide a simple graphical installation
flow and are consistent with the usual installation process on
Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
• The Sync Tool now provides 3 options for handling files which have
changed locally:

1. Overwrite the file (the default, and the only option available in

previous versions)

2. Skip the file (ensures that there are no changes made to any

existing files in DuraCloud)

3. Rename original (rename the old copy of this file first, then add

the new file to DuraCloud)
