Navigating the main user interface
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
By default, the Nextcloud Web interface opens to your Files page. You can add,
|
|
remove, and share files, and make changes based on the access privileges set by
|
|
you (if you are administering the server) or by your server administrator.

|
The Nextcloud user interface contains the following fields and functions:
|
|
|
|
* **Apps Selection Menu** (1): Located in the upper left corner, you'll find all
|
|
your apps which are available on your instance of Nextcloud. Clicking on an
|
|
apps icon will redirect you to the app.
|
|
|
|
* **Apps Information** field (2): Located in the left sidebar, this provides
|
|
filters and tasks associated with your selected app. For example, when you
|
|
are using the Files apps you have a special set of filters for quickly
|
|
finding your files, such as files that have been shared with you, and files
|
|
that you have shared with others. You'll see different items for other apps.
|
|
|
|
* **Application View** (3): The main central field in the Nextcloud user interface.
|
|
This field displays the contents or user features of your selected app.
|
|
|
|
* **Navigation Bar** (4): Located over the main viewing window (the Application
|
|
View), this bar provides a type of breadcrumbs navigation that enables you to
|
|
migrate to higher levels of the folder hierarchy up to the root level (home).
|
|
|
|
* **New** button (5): Located in the Navigation Bar, the ``New`` button
|
|
enables you to create new files, new folders, or upload files.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You can also drag and drop files from your file manager into the
|
|
Files Application View to upload them to your instance. Currently,
|
|
the only Web browsers that support drag-and-drop folders are Chrome and
|
|
Chromium.
|
|
|
|
* **Search** field (6): Click on the magnifier in the upper right hand corner of
|
|
to search for files.
|
|
|
|

|
|
your server. Dependent on the given details and available apps, you can
|
|
directly start a video call with them or send emails.

|
|
directly to your image gallery.
