I’m currently working on merging the old Java-based website pixeldra.in (which has the majority of the users) and the new Go-based website sia.pixeldrain.com. Here is how it will work:

User accounts will be moved to the new database. If you have an account with the same name on sia.pixeldrain.com your files and lists will be linked to that account and the old one discarded. Only your sia.pixeldrain.com password will keep working. This only applies to 8 users including me.

Login sessions on pixeldra.in will be deleted. After the merging you will have to log in again on all your devices

pixeldrain.com will become the primary website address, pixeldra.in will redirect to pixeldrain.com. pixeldra.in can still be used for short URLs

The new API (documentation at https://sia.pixeldrain.com/api ) will become available at pixeldrain.com/api. The old API (https://pixeldra.in/api) will keep working through a compatibility layer. Please migrate your applications to the new API

Files on pixeldra.in will be copied over to the new site and will keep their 6-character IDs. Newly uploaded files and lists will receive 8-character IDs for increased security

File expiry time will be extended from 60 days to 90 days of inactivity

File size and upload bandwidth limit will be raised to 10 GB

Before the migration starts I will be working on feature parity between pixeldra.in and sia.pixeldrain.com so you won’t lose any functionality that you use. I will also add an account settings page where you can update your username, e-mail address and password whenever you like.

During the migration you can expect a few hours of downtime. I will announce this downtime on my Twitter feed.

When Sia version 1.4 is released all files on pixeldrain will be stored on Sia. Not just files on sia.pixeldrain.com anymore. External backups will be kept in case of a failure in the Sia daemon.
