Files and folders
Learn how to browse and manage files and folders inside a workspace.
The file browser is the main place where you work with content inside a workspace. Content means the files and folders stored in that workspace.
A file is one item, such as a document, image, spreadsheet, or other piece of content. A folder is a container that helps you group files and other folders.
Find your way around
At the top of the file browser, you can see a breadcrumb path. A breadcrumb path is a row of folder names that shows where you are. Use it to move back to an earlier folder.
You can open a folder to go inside it. You can also refresh the view. Refresh means asking the page to load the latest list of files and folders.
Some files can open in a fullscreen view. Fullscreen means the file fills most or all of your screen so you can focus on it.
Upload files
You can upload files by choosing them from your device. You can also upload whole folders, or drag and drop files and folders into the file browser.
Drag and drop can be faster
You can drag files or folders from your device and drop them into the file browser to upload them.
Open the upload action
Choose the upload action in the file browser.
Choose what to upload
Pick files, or choose a whole folder if that option is available.
Confirm the upload
Follow the prompts from your browser. The items are added to the current folder.
Or drag and drop
Drag files or folders from your device into the file browser. Drop them when the browser shows that upload is ready.
Create or enter a folder
Folders help you keep related files together. For example, you might use one folder for contracts and another for images.
Create a folder
If the file browser shows a create folder action, choose it and enter a short, clear name.
Open a folder
Select a folder to enter it. The breadcrumb path changes to show your new location.
Go back
Use the breadcrumb path to return to a parent folder. A parent folder is the folder that contains the folder you are in.
Rename an item
Renaming changes the name of a file or folder. It does not change where the item is stored.
Open the item actions
Find the file or folder you want to rename. Open its actions menu.
Choose rename
Select the rename action.
Enter the new name
Type the new name and confirm it. Use a name that will make sense later.
Move an item
Moving changes where a file or folder is stored. You can move an item to another folder.
Open the item actions
Find the file or folder you want to move. Open its actions menu.
Choose move
Select the move action.
Pick the destination
Choose the folder where the item should go. A destination is the place you move something to.
Confirm the move
Confirm the action. The item appears in its new folder.
Delete an item
Deleting removes a file or folder from the workspace.
Be sure before you delete
Deleting is significant. Check that you have selected the right item before you confirm.
Open the item actions
Find the file or folder you want to delete. Open its actions menu.
Choose delete
Select the delete action.
Check the confirmation
Read the confirmation message, if one appears.
Confirm the deletion
Confirm only when you are sure the item should be removed.
