Open a file (double click, Enter or Ctrl+O) in its default app, from a copy kept on this
device in the cache folder: used again while the server says the file is the same (one small
request), read-only, and deleted when not used for a month. Download files and folders
(Download… in the right-click menu) to a folder you pick, none overwritten
Long actions show as in Files: once an action has taken a second, a row with a ring and its
title is added at the foot of the sidebar; a click opens its progress, the time left and the
speed, and a way to cancel a transfer
Upload files and folders (Upload Files… with Ctrl+U, Upload Folder… in the right-click menu
and the path bar's): a file in one request, a big one (32 MB or more) in chunks of 16 MB,
three at a time, each sent again when the connection drops, and small files (256 KB or
less) a hundred to a request with Nextcloud's bulk upload, with the files' dates kept;
when a name is taken you choose Replace (the server keeps the old file as a version), Keep
Both or Skip
The places of Nextcloud Files in the sidebar, as the web app has them (each only where the
server has it): Recent, Starred (all that is starred, files too), Shared with You, Shared
with Others, Shared by Link, Tags (each tag opens the files that have it) and Deleted
Files, and the storage used at the foot ("Used x out of y", with a thin bar that turns red
when a tenth or less is left)
Open in Browser (right-click menu): the file in Nextcloud's web app, for what Foldav does not
do (comments, activity, apps' own views)
Open With… (right-click menu) picks the app for a file; Enter opens all the files selected
Pasting or dropping files where a name is taken asks what to do: Replace, Keep Both or
Skip (a copy into its own folder is still "a (copy)")
Download as ZIP… (right-click menu): a folder or several files as one ZIP the server makes,
in one request however many files
Files dragged onto another account in the sidebar are copied to its root (by way of this
device)
The folder shown is checked for changes made elsewhere every 30 seconds and when the window
comes to the front (one small request), and shows them without losing your place
Share… in the right-click menu (where the server has sharing): the file's public links to
copy or take down, made with an optional password, an expiry date and editing allowed (a new
link is copied at once), and the users and groups it is shared with, found by name, who
can be allowed to edit or removed
Versions… (where the server keeps them): a file's earlier versions with their date and
size, each opened in its app or put back as the file
Tags… (where the server has them): check the tags a file has, search the tags, make a new one
Thumbnails: images, documents and videos show the preview the server made of them instead
of the type's icon, in the icons, the list and the columns' preview, fetched a few at a
time while you scroll and kept on this device by the file's ETag (deleted after a month
unused)
The location as a path to type, as in Files: a click on the path bar's room or Ctrl+L turns
the bar into a field with the folder's path; Enter goes there (a toast says when there is no
such folder), Escape or a click elsewhere brings the bar back; dragging the bar still moves
the window
The Tags place shows how many files each tag is on in the size column (counted in the
background after the list shows, a few requests at a time), and no date for a tag
The star of a favorite as in Nextcloud's web app: filled, toned (a dark gold on light
themes, a soft yellow on dark), at the corner of the file's icon in the icons, after the name
in the list and the columns, in the same colour in all three
What is selected, said in a pill at the foot of the icons and the list, as in Files: a file
by its name and size, several by their number and together size (folders and other items
counted apart); a click on the room between the files selects none
Select by dragging a rectangle on the room between the files, in the icons, the list and each
column of the columns view
Tabs, as in Files: Ctrl+T opens one at the folder shown, Ctrl+W closes it (the last one
closes the window), Ctrl+Page Down and Ctrl+Page Up (or Ctrl+Tab) switch, Ctrl+Shift+Page
Up and Down move a tab, Alt+1 to 9 pick one; a folder opens in a new tab from "Open in New
Tab" in the right-click menu or a middle click (on the views, the sidebar and the path
bar). Each tab has its own folder and history, and files dragged onto a tab are moved into
its folder (Ctrl: copied; from other apps: uploaded)
The view menu as Files': Icon Size with plus and minus (Ctrl+plus, Ctrl+minus, Ctrl+0; the
icons' and the list's own), Sort (A-Z, Z-A, Last Modified, First Modified, Size, Type; one
for the icons, the list and the columns, the list's header sets it too), Show Hidden Files,
and Captions…: the size, type or date of a file beneath its name in the icons, up to three,
more of them as the icons grow
A bigger preview of the file selected in the columns view: an image (or a document or
video or a PDF's first page, from the server's preview) shown large and the start of a text
file, as in Files; "Preview Files" in Preferences, on to begin with, turns it off. What is
fetched for it is kept on this device by the file's ETag, never asked for twice, and the
oldest previews go when they take more than 256 MB
The trash bin: Deleted Files lists what was deleted; Restore, Delete Permanently and
Empty Trash, each asking first where it cannot be taken back
Search by name in the folder shown and below it, as in Files (Ctrl+F or the button with the
loupe in the header): the field takes the path bar's place, the server is asked a
moment after each key (the results stay on screen with a "Searching…" pill meanwhile), each
result says under its name the folder it is in (so do Recent, Starred and the other places),
back, forward and up are off while the results show, and Escape or the button leaves it
A change another app saves to the copy of an opened file goes back to the server (also one
made while Foldav was closed, at the next start), unless the file changed on the server
meanwhile: then it stays, and your version is kept beside it as "name (conflicted
copy).ext", as the desktop client does
Drag and drop as in Files: files to a folder in the views, the sidebar or the path bar move
there (Ctrl copies); files dragged from Files or the desktop into the window are uploaded
to the folder they are dropped on or shown; files dragged out of the window to Files or the
desktop are downloaded first, listed in the sidebar like any transfer
