Files

A full file manager in the browser.

• Uploads are chunked and resumable: each chunk retries after a network blip, uploads can be paused and resumed, and the server checks the whole file’s SHA-256 against the one the browser computed. Progress shows in the Transfers tray.
• Editor: text and code files open in a built-in editor, with a Format action for JSON, YAML, CSS, HTML, Markdown, JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Share links: share a file or folder through a public link that expires.

Places

A Place is a folder HSI exposes to its users, usually on a data volume. Access is granted per user and per group, as Read, Write, Delete and Share. Administrators have full access to every Place. A Place can be created when a volume is mounted, so it shows up in Files right away, and shared over SMB (see Users and shares).

Writing through the file manager acts as your Linux user, exactly as over SMB, so permissions are the same either way. A “permission denied” error says which account the operation ran as and who owns the target folder.
