Two factor authentication
Allow both SkyFlok Users and their Client Space clients to secure their account with two-factor authentication using authenticator mobile application. We will extend the system with codes sent in SMS later, for users who are not comfortable using the code generator smartphone applications.
multiple languages
Priority: Medium
Complexity: Medium
Translate SkyFlok to multiple languages. We have already started this effort with the multi-language email templates, and planning to extend it to the whole product.
Update: We are planning to start with the following set of languages: Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish. If you have a potential customer who needs a different language, please contact us!

Priority: High
Complexity: High
Sync applications for Windows and macOS, which allows the user to create a local folder on their computer which is automatically synced with their SkyFlok account.
Update: Started working on a sync client!
SkyFlok Software Library
Priority: High
Complexity: High
A software library that implements the client-side core functionality of SkyFlok (with file encryption and redundant erasure coding). This library make it possible to integrate SkyFlok into other applications under the hood.
Update: “Technology preview” version of the library is available for internal testing. Reach out to us if you’re interested!
multiple clients per space
Priority: High
Complexity: Medium
Currently only one client (email address) can be assigned to a Client Space. This is not a good fit if your client is not a single person, but a company where multiple people should have access to the Space. Currently they would have to share the password between each other, and using 2-factor authentication like that is not practical at all.
We are working on extending the Client Space with the option to add multiple people as clients.
send password in sms
Priority: Medium
Complexity: medium
We would like to integrate with an SMS service and allow both you and your customers to send user, client or share passwords in SMS. Now we only display these passwords and ask the user to send it on a secure channel.
Update: After selecting the SMS provider for two factor authentication, this feature will be fairly straightforward to add.
large file downloads
Priority: High
Complexity: Medium
Large file downloads (above 1GB) are currently limited: it depends on the user’s browser and amount of memory in their computer whether they can download a large file.
Update: We have built a solution to allow downloading files of any size, we are testing it internally right now
SkyFlok mobile apps
Priority: Low
Complexity: high
Currently the only way to access SkyFlok is via the webapp in a browser. Although it is optimized for mobile use, a native mobile application provide better user experience and is necessary to support large file downloads.
custom Data locations for client spaces
Priority: Low
Complexity: High
Currently all files of a customer are distributed to the same set of data locations, including files in Client Spaces. However, sometimes it might be more suitable to have the client space files closer to the client ,in case of clients on a different continent.
