Max Planck Information & Technology has released KEEPER 7.0, a major update based on the Open Source file sync and share software Seafile Professional 12.0.16. This new version features a refreshed design and a range of functional improvements aimed at optimizing usability, performance, and collaboration.
KEEPER 7.0 introduces updated branding, including a new logo and a redesigned landing page, providing a modern and consistent visual appearance. The user interface has been significantly improved with a unified “Files” view that combines personal, shared, and group libraries. Users can now customize the sidebar, and a new tile view offers a more visual way to browse files.
A notable addition to this release is SeaDoc, a built-in collaborative editor that facilitates real-time document editing and lightweight note-taking. SeaDoc complements OnlyOffice by offering markdown-based editing, quick features, and collaborative workflows directly within KEEPER. Unlike traditional office documents, SeaDoc files are fully integrated into the platform and cannot be opened externally.
KEEPER 7.0 also introduces a new Wiki module based entirely on SeaDoc This module enables teams to efficiently create, maintain and share knowledge, making it ideal for internal documentation and collaborative content management.
File preview functionality has been optimized for faster loading times and improved thumbnail generation. Support has been extended to additional formats, including PDF, video, and HEIC files. An integrated knowledge base is now accessible directly within the web interface, providing users with immediate access to help and documentation.
Security and access control have been further strengthened. Files can now be shared with specific individuals via their email addresses, and anonymous editing is no longer supported, ensuring more controlled and secure collaboration.
With these improvements, KEEPER 7.0 delivers a more intuitive, modern, and collaborative experience for users across the Max Planck Society.
