Choose How You Navigate and Work
Choose how files are displayed, move through folder hierarchies, and access frequently needed actions. Flexible views and navigation options make it easier to find content and perform file operations based on the task at hand.
Large icons view for browsing
Files and folders render as large thumbnail tiles that refresh automatically after adds, renames, or deletions. Teams managing photo libraries, video assets, or design files can scan visual previews instead of reading file names, speeding up content identification.
Compare files in details view
Details view lists files in a sortable table with columns for name, type, size, modified date, and custom fields, with resizable widths. Teams auditing document repositories or compliance archives can compare metadata across many items without opening each file, saving time.
Navigation pane for folder jumps
The navigation pane displays the folder hierarchy in a sidebar for one-click jumps between locations, staying in sync with file operations and supporting keyboard navigation. Teams managing shared drives with hundreds of nested subfolders can reach any folder in fewer clicks.
Toolbar for quick operations
The toolbar keeps core actions, including create, upload, delete, and view switching, visible without extra menus. Teams building internal document portals or admin dashboards can reorder buttons to match their workflow, cutting clicks for the most frequent tasks.
Context menu for quick actions
Right-clicking a file or folder opens a context menu with common operations, and the selected item stays highlighted while the menu is open. Teams working in shared document libraries can rename, move, or delete items on the spot, without using to the toolbar first.
