You can access your collaboration platform files with the collaboration platform Web interface and create, preview, edit, delete, share, and re-share files. Your collaboration platform administrator has the option to disable these features, so if any of them are missing on your system ask your server administrator.
You can assign tags to files. To create tags, open a file to the Details view. Then type your tags. To enter more than one tag press the return key after creating each tag. All tags are system tags, and are shared by all users on your collaboration platform server.
Then use the Tags filter on the left sidebar to filter files by tags:
You can play videos in collaboration platform with the Video Player app by simply clicking on the file. Video streaming by the native collaboration platform video player depends on your Web browser and the video format. If your collaboration platform administrator has enabled video streaming, and it doesn’t work in your Web browser, it may be a browser issue. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats#Browser_compatibility for supported multimedia formats in Web browsers.
The Details view shows Activities, Sharing, and Versions information:
The Settings gear icon at the lower left allows you to show or hide hidden files in your collaboration platform Web interface. These are also called dotfiles, because they are prefixed with a dot, e.g. .mailfile
. The dot tells your operating system to hide these files in your file browsers, unless you choose to display them. Usually these are configuration files, so having the option to hide them reduces clutter.
You can display uncompressed text files, OpenDocument files, videos, and image files in the Collaboration platform embedded viewers by clicking on the file name. There may be other file types you can preview if your Collaboration platform administrator has enabled them. If Collaboration platform cannot display a file, it starts a download process and downloads the file to your computer.
Navigating through folders in Collaboration platform is as simple as clicking on a folder to open it and using the back button on your browser to move to a previous level. Collaboration platform also provides a navigation bar at the top of the Files field for quick navigation.
Any folder that has been shared is marked with the Shared overlay icon. Public link shares are marked with a chain link. Unshared folders are not marked:
Upload or create new files or folders directly in a collaboration platform folder by clicking on the New button in the Files app:
You can move files and folders by dragging and dropping them into any directory.
Federated Cloud Sharing allows you to mount file shares from remote Nextcloud servers, and manage them just like a local share. See Using Federation Shares to learn to how to create and connect to new Federated Cloud shares.
