Hello everyone!! 
We are excited to introduce you a new Android app beta version, 4.4.0-beta.1, the first beta of the following version 4.4.0 for Android 
. The focus in that version was the accessible content and other improvements that affect the auto uploads. We’ll comment the most relevant ones:
Improved auto-upload behavior
To provide some context, you must have auto-uploads enabled and the “Remove from original folder” option selected.
This feature ensures that the picture or video won’t be deleted from your device until the auto-upload is successful and not before, making the feature more consistent and robust against unexpected problems.
Accessibility improvements
Our focus over the past few months has been on improving accessibility. For that reason, all news are available in this beta version, and we are still working on improving it for the future.
Among other things, navigation using an external keyboard has been improved. Now, the focus order follows a logical path, every element is accessible, and there are no traps.
Regarding TalkBack, an accessibility feature that helps blind or visual impaired users to interact with their Android devices using voice messages and touch options, it now provides more descriptive voice messages and detects which elements are headings.
Bugfix in Share view
Editing/creating public links or shares over an item that is not in the root folder did not refresh the list of shares in first instance. Now , it does. This bug has been fixed by the community. It is always a pleasure when contributors help us improve our app. Special thanks to parneet-guraya for this contribution.
How can I join the beta program?
