Work with Space files

The Files tab works like a shared drive.

Common tasks

• Open a folder or file by double-click or tap. A preview opens for documents, slides, spreadsheets, CSV, PDF, pictures, video, audio and text.
• Sort by Name, Modified or Size, and filter by name.
• Upload by picking files or a folder, by dropping them anywhere in the window, or by pasting. Drop onto a folder row to upload into it.
• Make a new folder, rename, move with Move To or by dragging, and Move to Trash.

Large files are sent in pieces, up to 512 MB each. A tray shows progress with Cancel and Try Again. If an upload fails, only the missing files are sent again.

Keyboard

Arrow keys move, Return opens, Space selects, F2 renames, Delete moves to the trash, and Command or Control with A selects all.

If it doesn't work

• Viewers can only open and download. You see a note under the toolbar, and drops are refused.
• Files over 64 MB, and unknown file types over 1 MB, show a download card and are not opened.
• Delete asks you to confirm because there is no restore yet.
