The latest release of CKBox, version 2.8.0, makes managing digital assets smarter and safer. New features, like the Trash Bin, which introduces a soft-deletion layer for recovering accidentally deleted files, and file extension safety warnings that prevent risky uploads, reinforce CKBox’s commitment to secure and user-friendly file management.

CKBox version 2.8.0 was released on 11 June 2025.

This release includes the all-new Trash Bin, security-focused warnings for executable file types, UI enhancements, and updated dependencies for greater performance and future compatibility.

NEW Trash Bin 

Accidentally deleted a file? Now there’s an easy way to get it back.

The new Trash Bin introduces a soft-delete system that helps you manage your asset lifecycle more efficiently. Instead of being permanently deleted, files are  now moved to a dedicated Trash Bin where they have a 30-day recovery window.

A user deletes a file in CKBox, then restores it from the Trash Bin back to its original location.
The Trash Bin in action: soft-delete, browse, and restore.

When restoring a file, CKBox will return it to its original location, if it’s still available; otherwise the user will be prompted  to choose a new destination, keeping your assets organized.

NEW File Extension Warnings

If an admin attempts to permit extensions such as  .exe, .js, or .html, they’ll now see a clear alert about the potential risks these files may pose. This safeguard helps keep your asset library and content secure.

To help prevent accidental exposure to risky files, CKBox now includes built-in warnings for potentially dangerous file extensions.

Other Improvements

  • UI modernization: CKBox now features a refreshed look with cleaner visuals and improved interface copy, making everyday interactions consistent and polished.

  • Updated React (v19) and other dependencies: smoother performance, better compatibility, and improved stability across the board.
