Use the <app>Files</app> file manager to browse and organize the files on
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
your computer. You can also use it to manage files on storage devices (like
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
external hard disks), on <link xref="nautilus-connect">file servers</link>, and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
on network shares.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
To start the file manager, open <app>Files</app> in the
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview. You can also search
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
for files and folders through the overview in the same way you would

|
Packit |
6d2957 |
<link xref="shell-apps-open">search for applications</link>.

|
|

6d2957 |
In the file manager, double-click any folder to view its contents, and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
double-click or <link xref="mouse-middleclick">middle-click</link> any file to
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
open it with the default application for that file. Middle-click a folder to
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
open it in a new tab. You can also right-click a folder to open it in a new tab
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
or new window.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
When looking through the files in a folder, you can quickly <link xref="files-preview">preview each file</link> by pressing the space bar
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
to be sure you have the right file before opening it, copying it, or
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
deleting it.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
The path bar above the list of files and folders shows you which
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
folder you’re viewing, including the parent folders of the current folder.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
Click a parent folder in the path bar to go to that folder. Right-click any
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
folder in the path bar to open it in a new tab or window, or access its
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
properties.
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
If you want to quickly <link xref="files-search">search for a file</link>,
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
in or below the folder you are viewing, start typing its name. A search
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
bar will appear at the top of the window and only files which match your
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
search will be shown. Press <key>Esc</key> to cancel the search.

6d2957 |
not see the sidebar, click <gui>Files</gui> in the top bar and then select

Packit |
6d2957 |
<gui>Sidebar</gui>. You can add bookmarks to folders that you use often and
|
|
Packit |
6d2957 |
they will appear in the sidebar. Drag a folder to the sidebar, and drop it over
