MassTransit 7.2 and later plug-in has new options available:

Show file(s) that have already been downloaded: this option allows users to see already downloaded files. When selecting the "Show file(s) that have already been downloaded" check-box, the files downloaded by the web user will be displayed and can be downloaded again. This option applies only to files that have been physically added to the To Send user mailbox. Files queued programmatically to MassTransit will not be available for re-download.

Switch to folder-style table view is a new option of the web interface. When a whole folder is added to be send or is available for download, you can review the folder with its name by choosing the Switch to folder-style table view option. Normally the folder will be presented by its content as list of files. When you switch to folder view you will see an icon for folder or file in front of each attached item, depending on the items. If you want to switch back to files view you can do so by selecting the Switch to files only table view option.
