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)
|
![](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
|
- 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.
|
||||||
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.
|

# File management
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Uploading files
|
![](en/workspace.png)
|
||||||
There are two ways to upload files:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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.
|
||||||

||||||
|
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)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

|
||||||
## File Sharing
|
|
||||||
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.

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
