Description

Initial Checklist

  • I understand this is a user story and questions should be posted in the Community Discussions
  • I searched issues and couldn’t find anything (or linked relevant results below)

User Story

As a user, I want to find all available "actions" for creating something within the files app in the "+ New" FAB in the left sidebar, so that I always know where to look when I want to create anything.

User Value

Consistency: the FAB (top of left sidebar or really floating in bottom right on mobile) is the go-to entrypoint for creating anything in the files app

Acceptance Criteria

  • when I'm in the spaces overview and allowed to create spaces, a click on the FAB opens the "Create space" modal (directly)
  • when I'm in a folder, a space root or a public link root and have write permissions in that location, it shows the dropdown with all the file and folder creation or upload options
  • when I'm in a location where I'm can't create something (either because of a lack of permissions, or because there simply is no action available like in the trash overview, the search result page, the shares pages, etc), the "+ New" FAB is:
    • visible, but disabled for desktop
    • invisible for mobile
