DRACOON Web App version 5.6

Release date (DRACOON cloud): July 1, 2020


About this release

Version 5.6 of the DRACOON Web App was deployed on the DRACOON cloud on July 1, 2020 and replaces the previous version 5.5.1.

New features

Support for S3 direct upload

What does this mean?
If you have S3 storage such as NetApp connected to DRACOON (under Settings > Storage), files uploaded with the DRACOON Web App are now automatically transferred directly to the S3 storage and no longer have to take a detour to the DRACOON storage, where they had to be temporarily stored first before finally being forwarded to the S3 storage.


Previously: File uploads with the DRACOON Web App are passed trough the DRACOON storage

Now: File uploads with the DRACOON Web App are transferred directly to the S3 storage

What's the benefit?
S3 direct upload allows much higher transfer speeds and reduced data traffic when using S3 storage. If, for example, the connected S3 storage is located on-site, the uploaded files don't have to be uploaded to the DRACOON cloud storage first but are directly transferred to your local S3 storage at the maximum speed of your local network.

(DRACOON for Outlook, DRACOON for iOS, DRACOON for Android, and DRACOON for WebDAV already support S3 direct upload. For DRACOON for Windows/Mac, support for S3 direct upload will be included in one of the next versions.)

  • If the DRACOON Web App is opened with Internet Explorer, a message will appear once a day that this browser will no longer be supported as of July 1st and that a different browser will have to be used with the next version of the DRACOON Web App:
