Android client
Android Changes
The most notable improvements in the Android client are related to handling file uploads. Thanks to hard work by several community members, some changes were merged which help avoid file duplication and when uploading files, users can choose how to deal with duplication. Other changes were made to the user interface, allowing different views to be selected per folder (grid or list) and some visual improvements related to Material Design. The share dialog now allows you to determine what permissions to give to the people you share with. And last but not least, a battery drain issue has been resolved.
