The new affiliate program
To accelerate the growth of our company and enhance the experience for users of our affiliate program, we will introduce a completly new program following the mobile app rework.
Mobile App Rework Closed Beta
In Q3, the new mobile app rework will enter the closed beta phase. It is difficult to predict how long it will remain in this stage, but we are optimistic that there will be no significant obstacles to an early launch.
Mobile App rework
Following the overhaul of the new desktop client, the Filen Mobile App for iOS and Android will be the next to receive a major update. However, we anticipate several months of development time.
