Files ​

Using the file manager, you can easily upload, move, rename and delete your files. You can also organize your files into folders.

Interface ​

Here you can see an example of the file manager interface:

The file manager consists of a toolbar at the top, and the content display at the bottom.

Toolbar ​

The toolbar contains the following items from left to right:

  1. Up: Move up one directory level
  2. Refresh: Reloads the current directory
  3. New: Choose to upload a file or create a new folder
  4. Home: Move to the root directory
  5. Address Bar: Displays the current directory

Search and Sort ​

On the right side of the toolbar, you can find the search and sort options:

Search: Here you can search for files and folders by name. The button to the right of the search input allows you to toggle between searching for files in the current directory, recursively in the current directory, or all files on your account.

Sort: Here you can choose how files and folders should be sorted. You can toggle between sorting by name, date and size, and choose the direction to sort in.

Uploading Files ​

To upload a file, click the "+" icon in the top left of the file manager. Here you can choose to upload a file, and you will be prompted with a file picker. Choose a file, give it a proper name and click "Upload". It will be uploaded to the folder you are currently in.

The file manager also supports drag and drop, so you can simply drag a file from your computer into the file manager to upload it.
