# 6.20 - Improved files management, linking existing accounts 30 January 2025 --- #### File transfers The way we handle file transfers and storage has received a much awaited update! If you identify any hiccup when downloading/uploading a file from Nestor, please let us know at --- #### Improvement of the file module The file module has received the following updates: - Files are now ordered - first by filetype order - then alphabetically - No more confirmation popup when changing a file type - Multi-select for easy deletes and downloads! - The module display is now much clearer on small screens [![image.png](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2025-01/scaled-1680-/cJVRImFxL9hhXlvH-image.png)](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2025-01/cJVRImFxL9hhXlvH-image.png) --- #### Co-author validation: linking an existing account The corresponding author sometimes uses an alternate address (for example a gmail) to register a co-author. If the co-author is already registered in Nestor with another address, this will result in a duplicate account. This update addresses the issue by proposing the coauthor to discard the alternate address and link his/her historic account: [![image.png](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2025-01/scaled-1680-/JnPA4zavBkhGSweL-image.png)](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/uploads/images/gallery/2025-01/JnPA4zavBkhGSweL-image.png)
