Dropbox Integration, Zoom Controls & a Faster Canvas

FLORA now connects directly to Dropbox — import assets and export finished work without leaving your canvas. This week also brings precision zoom controls, a major canvas performance push for large projects, and smarter video generation that fixes inputs instead of rejecting them.

📦 New

  1. Dropbox Integration

    Import from and export to Dropbox right from your canvas
    Pull assets in through your library or send finished work out via the export node with a native folder picker.

    MoreLess

    Works across shared workspaces, remembers your last destination, and keeps everything in sync — no more downloading and re-uploading between tools.

  2. Zoom Controls

    Precision navigation in the editor and fullscreen view
    Zoom now anchors to your cursor with keyboard and HUD controls, a clear zoom indicator, and dedicated controls in fullscreen image view — so inspecting fine detail in large generations is effortless.

  3. Reference Images in Inpaint

    @mention any image on your canvas inside inpaint prompts
    Guide your edits with visual references instead of describing them — point the model at exactly the style, object, or texture you want painted in.

  4. FAUNA Understands Video & Audio

    Connect video or audio nodes and FAUNA gets it
    FAUNA now eagerly analyzes video and audio context on your canvas, so you can ask about a clip's content, pacing, or sound the same way you already do with images.

  5. Lock Selection

    Lock nodes in place from the selection toolbar
    Freeze finished sections of your workflow so a stray drag can't disturb layouts you've already perfected.

  6. Optional Technique Inputs

    Build more flexible reusable workflows
    Technique creators can now mark inputs as optional, so one technique can serve both quick runs and fully customized ones.

  7. 8K Video Upscaling

    The video upscaler output cap is raised to 8192×8192
    Push your footage to true 8K resolution for final delivery.

🧠 Improved

  1. Canvas performance

    A dedicated optimization push for large projects: smoother panning and zooming, no more hover stutter, faster toolbar interactions, and snappier rendering on canvases with hundreds of nodes.

  2. Video generation is more forgiving

    Undersized videos are now automatically upscaled to meet model requirements instead of being rejected, preprocessing is more reliable, and resolution/duration errors are clearer about what to change

  3. Downloads handle huge images

    Images over 150MP now download reliably, and "Download original" is always available

  4. Billing transparency

    See a full cost breakdown per generation in your usage page, get a clear notice on your dashboard if there's a billing issue, and overdue invoices recover automatically when you update your payment method

  5. Project search

    Finds matches from the first character you type

🔐 API Changes

  1. Retrieve workspace techniques by ID

    via the public API, with clearer authentication error messages for faster debugging

🛠 Fixes

  • Multi-image @mentions now work correctly in Kling video generations
  • Gemini image generations no longer fail on certain input assets
  • FAUNA responses stream smoothly from the first word, and queued messages render in the right order
  • Publishing techniques works reliably again
  • Auto aspect ratio now correctly matches your input image's dimensions when running techniques
  • Generated media frames size themselves to match the actual output
  • Long ProRes exports complete instead of timing out
  • PDF imports show proper page thumbnails in the library and publish flow
  • Video nodes use the real dimensions of your footage for aspect ratio

FLORA Weekly

This week brings Google Drive shared drive support for seamless team file workflows, a major reliability pass on FAUNA chat, and dynamic generation cost display so you always know what you're spending before you generate. Plus: progress bars for uploads, canvas interaction polish, and dozens of fixes across techniques, billing, and multiplayer.



📦 New

  1. Google Drive Shared Drives

    Import from and export to your team's shared drives, not just personal storage.

    MoreLess

    Browse and select files from any shared drive your Google account can access, making FLORA a natural part of team file workflows without manual downloads or re-uploads.

  2. Dynamic Generation Costs

    See accurate credit costs before you generate, updated live as you change models and parameters.

    MoreLess

    No more guessing — the cost display reflects the exact model, resolution, and settings you've selected so you can make informed decisions before spending credits.

  3. Upload & Download Progress Bars

    Precise byte-level progress replaces generic toast notifications.

    MoreLess

    Track exactly how far along your file transfers are with real progress indicators instead of ambiguous spinners.

  4. Batch Carousel Extract

    Pull individual results from batch generation carousels directly onto the canvas.

    MoreLess

    Cherry-pick the outputs you like from a batch run and place them as standalone nodes for further editing or connection.

  5. Community Library Emails

    New and updated email notifications for technique submissions and community interactions.

    MoreLess

    Stay informed when your published techniques get traction or when submissions you care about are reviewed.

  6. Layer Editor: Custom Typography —

    The layer editor now supports custom font selection, letter spacing, and line tracking.

    MoreLess

    Useful for precise text styling in branded or templated compositions.



🧠 Improved

  1. Canvas bulk delete

    confirmation prompt now only appears for 5+ nodes, reducing friction for small multi-selections

  2. Model picker

    correctly filters by mention modality, so you only see compatible models when using @-mentions

  3. Action node previews

    render at 3x resolution for sharper, clearer input thumbnails

  4. Overage badge

    now uses warning-level styling so it's immediately visible when your workspace is in overage

  5. Canvas panning

    works from within the marquee selection rectangle for more intuitive navigation

  6. Usage breakdown

    now shows a clearer modality split so you can see exactly where credits go across image, video, and text



🛠 Fixes

  • FAUNA now correctly resolves @-mentions and preserves referenced assets when triggering generations — no more broken references
  • FAUNA respects context chips you explicitly removed, so excluded context stays excluded
  • Nodes created by FAUNA properly display edges and connections
  • Technique edits reliably publish the correct graph version
  • Batch output naming no longer conflicts with auto-suffix logic
  • Right-clicking the marquee selection box no longer deselects your nodes
  • Long ProRes video exports now complete successfully with an extended timeout
  • Generations with inaccessible input images fail fast with a clear error instead of hanging indefinitely
  • Layer editor composite URLs work on view-only share links
  • Hidden projects no longer count against your active project limit
  • Project limit errors now show a friendly message instead of a raw system error
