Today we have wonderful news! A long-awaited function that you’ve been asking for so much has finally reached the Open Beta stage!
If you’re tired of downloading files one by one and re-downloading them every time there were changes in their metadata or statuses then we have a perfect solution — meet Microstock+ Sync!

Key features of the app:

  • It can download all files preserving the folder structure to your computer;
  • While synchronization is active, any change happening to files in M+ will be automatically reflected on your PC;
  • Synchronization can be paused and resumed at any moment;
  • The app will display your folders statistics (total size, amount of files and subfolders).

M+ Sync is a completely free and lightweight app, it is cross-platform and runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

How to start using M+ Sync?

In the M+ interface click the M+ Sync section in the left menu to get to the M+ Sync landing page.
Current version is a Public Beta. Please contact support if you encounter any issues with the program. We’ll do our best to fix it as soon as possible! We’ve already made a few patches and would recommend you to download the latest version from the landing page and re-install the app if you have installed it earlier. All connected folders will remain unchanged.

Having difficulties with the M+ Sync app? Here’s the manual.

Despite the fact that M+ Sync development has used all of our manpower, that’s not the last trump card we have!

  • Updated Trend indicator
    We’ve improved the algorithm that determines the competitiveness of files so that it will produce more accurate Trendiness values.
  • Real-time code requests from the agencies
    We have significantly improved how fast we pass requests for a code from the agencies to you. You will not have to refresh the page to see a request for the code you have already received anymore.
  • Error notification improvements
    We’ve replaced the critical errors that were popping up whenever you have a connection issue with a small notification bar that appears in the lower part of the page. It disappears once the internet connection is restored.
  • New sorting panel
    Do you have so many files in M+ file gallery that sometimes it takes too long to find the exact one you need?
    We have a solution for you! We’ve expanded the Display options menu (it has been renamed to Sorting) by adding straight and reverse sorting modes.
    But the most important part is the new sorting mode that sorts files by their status for a specific microstock agency.
  • Status changes performance optimizations
    Whenever you launch an upload or change the status of a group of files it should happen much faster now, especially when the group is large. You should no longer receive critical error messages due to timeouts during such operations either.
  • “Remember me” checkbox improvements
    We’ve looked into some rare cases when the authentication system was failing to keep a user logged in. From now on whenever you activate the “Remember me” checkbox and sign in with a password you should stay logged in almost forever. Logging in with an external platform like Google or Facebook should keep you signed in for a week.

That would be all for today. As always we keep looking forward to reading your opinions and proposals here in comments and on our Telegram channel. Please, share your impressions on the M+ Sync feature. Does it work fast enough and does it meet your requirements? What would you like to improve?
