In a significant update, UploadThing announces the launch of version 7, which promises to enhance user experience by drastically improving upload speeds. The new version allows uploads to be paused and resumed seamlessly, addressing issues with unreliable internet connections. The infrastructure has been revamped to reduce the complexity of file uploads, eliminating the need for direct uploads to S3 and allowing users to upload files directly to UploadThing's ingest server.

This overhaul not only boosts upload speeds—reportedly making them up to five times faster—but also simplifies the process, reducing the number of requests made during uploads. The changes open the door for future features, such as enhanced file safety checks and compliance capabilities, while also allowing users to integrate their own storage solutions. The team expresses excitement about the potential for further developments following this major release.
