Filesfolders UI

You can browse and manage files in the app’s main view according to your permissions for each project. The “File Operations” menu is used to upload new files as well as add new folders or links. The menu also contains batch moving and deletion operations, for which items can be checked using the right hand side checkboxes.

Updating/deleting operations for single items can be accessed in the dropdown menus for each item. In the item create/update form, you can also tag items with a choice of icons and stylings to represent the item status.

When uploading a .zip archive, you may choose the “Extract files from archive” option to automatically extract archive files and folders into the filesfolders app. Note that overwriting of files is not currently allowed.

App Settings

In the project create/update form, set the boolean setting filesfolders.allow_public_links true to allow providing public links to files, for people who can access the site but do not necessarily have a user account or project rights. Note that public link access still has to be granted for each file through its create/update form.
