# Files
The main task of the cloud is managing files. You can easily upload, download, share and comment them.
The main task of **Nextcloud** is file management. Below is an overview of the main window, which we will divide in two sections:
![](en/main.png)
The *left-sidebar* let's you filter files based on certain criteria (recents, favorites, shared, by tags).<br>The *Main window* is your file-browser *(you should be familiar with it if you ever used a computer before...)*
- The **left sidebar** let's you filter files based on certain criteria (recents, favorites, shared, by tags, shared with circles or from external storages).
## Creating new files or directories
To create a new file, just click on **"+"** button and choose the type of file from the list. The same procedure aplies to create directories and pads.
- The **main window** is your file-browser and workspace. in addition to information about your files, from here you can perform a number of operations, such as commenting, tagging or sharing them.
![](en/file_creation.gif)
# File management
## Uploading files
There are two ways to upload files:
![](en/workspace.png)
By dragging files from your "computer" (file browser) onto the cloud web browser window.
We already mentioned the first three functions in the introduction, but it is worth reviewing them.
![](en/dragging_files.gif)
#### 1. Home button
It leads you back to the root folder (the home folder) when you navigate through your files or folders.
By using the **"+"** icon and selecting the "**Upload a file**" option.
![](en/home_btn.gif)
![](en/uploading_files.gif)
#### 2. New button
It enables you to upload a file and create new folders, text files or pads. Click on it and choose an action from the list.
## File / Directory operations menu
![](en/new_button.gif)
#### 3. Workspace
It allows you to bring context to your folders by adding notes, todo lists and links to files on top.
![](en/workspace.gif)
Rich workspace can be enabled/disabled by clicking the settings icon at the bottom of the left sidebar.
![](en/workspace_set.gif)
#### 4. Recent files
Here you can see the last modified files or folders.
![](en/recent.png)
#### 5. File manager
From this section you can do a number of operations on files or folders.
##### 5.1 Upload files
In addition to the option in the **New** menu (+), you can upload your files directly by dragging them from your computer to here.
![](en/upload.gif)
##### 5.2 Basic files and folders actions
By clicking on the **"three dots"** icon next to the filename or directory you can access to some extra options. Those options are self explanatory. You can "Add to favorites", see the "Details", "Rename", "Move or copy", "Download" or "Delete" the file or directory.

![](en/file_options.gif)
## File Sharing
##### 5.3 Sharing files
Sharing files and directories is an essential part of any cloud storage service. You can choose to share files with other Disroot users, an entire group or even with other users using OwnCloud/Nextcloud on different platforms. You can also share with anyone out there through the public link option.
To share a file or directory just click the "*share icon*" (![](en/share_icon.png)) right next to the name of the item you want to share. A right-bar popup will show up with all the sharing options for you to choose from.
![](en/sharing.gif)
![](en/file_sharing_menu.png)
To share a file or directory just click the *share icon* ![](en/share_icon.png) right next to the name of the item you want to share. A right-bar popup will show up with all the sharing options for you to choose from.
You might share with other users, groups, or users on different cloud servers using the federation address. To do so, you will have to type their entire usernames because **we don't provide autocompletion for privacy reasons**.<br>

You might share with other users, groups, or users on different cloud servers using the federation address. To do so, you will have to type their entire usernames because **we don't provide autocompletion for privacy reasons**.
![](en/sharing_id.png)
When sharing with other users or groups, you can choose if they have rights to edit and/or re-share the shared file. You can also set an expiration date for it and send a note to the recipients.
![](en/edit_options.png)
![](en/sharing_opt.png)
You can also share a file or directory with anyone by using the ![](en/sharing_icon.png) option. It allows you to copy/paste a link and share it. Any person who knows the address (url) will be able to access the file. They don't need to have an account. This option enables you to set editing permissions, protect the link with a password, hide the download and set an expiration date.

**Comments**<br>![](en/comment_01.png)
Once you have assigned the tags, you can go to the **Tags** filter option and search for files by the tags associated with them.

If your account start getting busy, let's say, for example, you start collaborating with (many) other users and groups, you could find the **"Activity"** app very useful. With it, you have a general overview on all the events happening within your cloud account (file changes, comments, shares, contacts, todos, calendars etc).
- **Chat**
![](en/activity_app.png)
![](en/chat.png)
The main window gives you a timeline with all events, and the left sidebar let's you filter the information based on certain criteria.

![](en/activity_rss.png)
![](en/checksum.png)

- **Comments**
![](en/comment.png)
