What’s new in Postrider
Release notes for the Postrider portal. Newest first.
August 2026 · Postrider Drive, active sessions, trusted devices, message search
Released August 14, 2026
A big daily-use release. The headline: Postrider Drive lets you mount
your files as a folder on your Mac, PC, or phone — browse, open,
drag files in and out without opening a browser. Plus a set of security
controls that put you in charge of exactly where and how you’re
signed in.
Postrider Drive — mount your files as a folder
-
Postrider Drive (new). Mount your Inbox, Sent, My Files,
and Team Files (if you’re on an org account) as a network folder in
Finder (macOS), Explorer (Windows), the Files app (iOS), or davfs (Linux).
Files decrypt on the fly; writes upload immediately. Same encryption,
permissions, and quotas as the web app.
-
App passwords (new). Per-device credentials for the Drive
mount, created and revoked individually from Account settings. Losing a
device only requires revoking its app password, not your real password.
End-to-end encrypted messages stay web-only by design — the mount
covers server-envelope items.
Security & account control
-
Active sessions. See every browser you’re signed in on
(device, IP, last-active time) and sign any of them out individually, or
“Sign out of all other sessions” in one click.
-
Trusted devices — 30-day two-factor skip. New
checkbox at the two-factor step: trust this browser for 30 days and skip
the code / passkey prompt on subsequent sign-ins. Revocable per device
from Account settings.
-
Per-user session timeout. Set your own idle-logout window
(1–480 minutes) in Account settings. Handy for admins on long-running
dashboards; the system default (15 minutes) is unchanged.
-
Microsoft 365 SSO: guest-block. Business orgs signed up via
Microsoft SSO are now locked to their primary email domain by default.
External guests and personal Microsoft accounts invited to your Entra tenant
can no longer inherit portal access — ask your Postrider admin to
invite them directly.
Everyday polish
-
Message search. The Inbox search bar now searches inside
message bodies, not just subject and sender. Match previews show where the
hit landed. Sent messages are searched too.
-
Inline document preview. Click a document name and it
opens in a preview modal — PDFs and images render inline; other
types get a Download button. Decryption for end-to-end items still
happens in your browser.
-
Cleaner first-contact email. When someone messages a
person who doesn’t yet have a Postrider account, we now send one
combined “invited + message waiting” email instead of two
(invite + “log in to read”) — less confusing, one
working link.
June 2026 · Passkeys, backup codes, Microsoft 365 SSO, and a built-in Help center
Released June 2, 2026
A focused release on sign-in security, plus self-serve Microsoft 365 sign-on for
business accounts and a built-in Help center so you can find answers without
leaving the app.
Sign-in & security
-
Microsoft 365 / Entra SSO (Business plan). “Sign in with
Microsoft” on the login page and “Sign up with Microsoft” on the
Business signup tab. Creating a new organization via SSO provisions everything
automatically — no separate password to manage. Existing org members can
also link their Microsoft account on first SSO sign-in. SSO accounts use
server-side encryption; password sign-in remains available alongside SSO and is
the only option for end-to-end encryption.
-
Passkeys & hardware security keys. FIDO2 / WebAuthn
support for YubiKey, Titan, Touch ID, Face ID, and Windows Hello.
Register multiple per account. New registrations save as discoverable passkeys
on supporting platforms and sync across devices via iCloud Keychain, Google
Password Manager, or 1Password.
-
One-time backup codes. Ten single-use codes per account,
shown once and downloadable. Each works once at the MFA step in place of TOTP
or a passkey. Regenerating immediately invalidates the previous set.
-
Self-service recovery key regeneration. Generate a new
recovery key from Account settings — the old one stops working
instantly. Your password and existing data are untouched.
-
Flexible 2FA gate for staff. Either TOTP or a passkey
satisfies the forced-MFA requirement for staff and admin accounts.
Sharing & documents
-
Link-only document share. Send a file to someone without a
Postrider account. Optional password, expiry date, and download limit; revoke
from the Documents page at any time.
- Multi-file upload. Select or drag in several files at once.
-
Drag-and-drop folder organization. Move documents between
folders by dragging. Rename folders inline by clicking the name.
Inbox
-
Threaded conversations. Replies are grouped into a single row
per thread, with an unread badge counting new messages in that thread.
-
Desktop notifications. Opt in from Account settings to get a
browser alert when a new secure message arrives. The alert never contains
message content.
For organizations
-
Storage usage at a glance. The Documents page shows team
quota usage as a bar; the Companies admin page surfaces per-org usage
alongside seat counts.
-
Trial indicator on the Companies admin list, with days
remaining.
-
Suspend or fully delete users. Suspend instantly blocks
sign-in while preserving data (reversible). Delete is a full purge for abuse
cases, with a confirmation dialog (not reversible).
-
Pending-signup management. Multi-select abandoned signups
to purge; per-row resend-invite. Reactivate no longer appears on
pending accounts.
-
Per-user invite rate limit stops a compromised admin
account from being weaponized to spam your users.
-
Verified org audit isolation. Org admins see audit entries
for their own org only — no cross-tenant bleed, no global system events.
Anti-spam
-
hCaptcha + honeypot on the public signup form to filter
bots before any email goes out.
-
Stale-signup purge job sweeps abandoned pending accounts on
a schedule.
Help center
-
In-app Help — a new sidebar link opens deep-linkable
articles covering signing in, 2FA setup, backup codes, recovery keys, sending
messages, documents and folders, share-by-link, account settings, privacy and
encryption, and troubleshooting.
