Shared Drives, Smarter FAUNA & Dynamic Pricing
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Canvas bulk delete
confirmation prompt now only appears for 5+ nodes, reducing friction for small multi-selections
Model picker
correctly filters by mention modality, so you only see compatible models when using @-mentions
Action node previews
render at 3x resolution for sharper, clearer input thumbnails
Overage badge
now uses warning-level styling so it's immediately visible when your workspace is in overage
Canvas panning
works from within the marquee selection rectangle for more intuitive navigation
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
