The core actions — creating folders, uploading, renaming, moving and inspecting items. Remember that create and upload act on the currently open folder.

Create a new folder

Go to Applications → File Manager.
In the tree on the left, click the folder you want the new one to sit inside (or stay at / for the root).
Click New folder in the toolbar.
In the Folder dialog, type a name in Enter your folder name.
Click CREATE.

The folder appears immediately in both the tree and the main grid/list, with its Modified date set to now.

New folder in the wrong place?

It’s created inside whichever folder was open — open the correct parent first, or use Cut/Paste to move it. If it doesn’t show up, click Refresh.

Upload files

Open the folder you want the files to land in (check the breadcrumb).
Click Upload in the toolbar and choose files — or drag files directly from your desktop onto the content area.

The files appear in the folder. An empty folder shows “This folder is empty / Drag files here to upload” until at least one item exists.

Nothing happens after clicking Upload?

The file picker opens in a separate window — check it isn’t hidden behind the browser. Files always upload into the open folder, so open the right one first.

Rename a folder or file

Click the item once to select it (a highlight appears and the toolbar shows Rename and Delete).
Click Rename in the toolbar, or right-click the item and choose Rename.
In the Rename dialog, clear the field and type the new name in Enter your new name.
Click SAVE.

The item’s name updates in the tree, grid and list.

Rename field shows “undefined”?

That happens when Rename is triggered from the empty content area inside an open folder instead of from the selected item. Close the dialog, select the folder/file directly in its parent listing (toolbar should read “1 item selected”), then rename.

Move items (cut, copy, paste)

Right-click the file or folder you want to move.
Choose Cut (to move) or Copy (to duplicate).
Open the destination folder.
Right-click in the destination and choose Paste.

The item appears in the destination; after a Cut it’s removed from the original location.

View file or folder details

Right-click the item and choose Details. The dialog shows Type (e.g. Folder), Size, Location (its path, e.g. /) and Modified (date and time). Click OK to close.

Size shows 0?

The folder is empty or contains only empty subfolders.

FAQs

Why is the Paste option greyed out?

Paste only activates after you’ve used Cut or Copy on an item. With nothing on the clipboard it stays disabled — cut or copy something first.

The name didn’t change after Save.

Make sure you selected the item first (the toolbar should read “1 item selected”), then rename and Save again.
