Moving Files or Folders
There are two ways you can move a file or folder.
Drag-and-Drop
One way you can achieve this is by performing a "drag-and-drop", which means you hover your mouse over the file/folder you want to move, click and hold the left mouse button, move the mouse over the destination, then let go of the left mouse button.
You can also move a file higher into the directory by dragging the file to the path on the top of the screen.
Right Click
Alternatively, you can also right-click the file/folder and click Move or copy to select where to move the file/folder to.
You can also do it the other way around.
Creating a Document
Currently, the only supported documents you can currently create are:
- Word Documents
- Excel Documents
- Powerpoint Documents
- Plain text files
Note: All of the file types except for plain text documents can be exported as a .pdf
To create a document, navigate to the folder where you want your document, then click the + at the top of the files window and select the type of document you would like to create. Enter the name you would like to give to the file, then press Enter.
Deleting a File or Folder
In order to delete a file or a folder, right click on the file/folder you want to delete, then click Delete file.
However, this will not actually completely erase the file from existence. Instead, the file is moved into a place commonly referred to as the Recycling Bin. You can see all the deleted files by clicking on Deleted files on the bottom-left hand corner of the window.
If you would like to permanently delete a file or folder, navigate to Deleted files, right click on the file/folder you would like to permanently delete, and click Delete Permanently.
However, if you accidentally deleted a file and you would like to restore it or move it back to where it was, click on Restore to the right of your deleted file.
Adding a Note to a Folder
Something special you can do with folders is add a note to them. You can keep notes about anything, such as where you placed a file, what tasks you still need to take care of, and more!
To create a folder note, navigate to the folder where you want to create a note, and click on the empty white space that says Add notes, lists or links....
When you create a note, a file called "Readme.md" will be created. This is where your note will be stored. If you delete "Readme.md", your note for that folder will be deleted with it.
Hiding Folder Notes
Are the folder notes too annoying for you? Do you no longer want to see them? This page will show you how to disable folder notes.
First of all, make sure you are either in the Files app or have navigated to www.fireantllcaz.net.
Once you are on the page, click on Settings on the bottom-left hand corner of the page. This will slide up a couple settings. To hide folder notes, uncheck Show rich workspaces.
Hiding File Recommendations
When you first log into FireantLLC, you will see a couple of file recommendations. If these are in the way or are just annyoing, this page shows you how to hide them.
To start, make sure you have either navigated to the Files app or to www.fireantllcaz.net.
Click on Settings in the bottom-left hand corner, then uncheck Show recommendations.
Sharing Files and Folders
Simple Sharing
Sharing a file or folder with someone is easy! All you have to do is click on the share button (the button with three dots connected by two lines) to pull up the share sidebar, and type the recipient's name in the "Name, email, or Federated Cloud ID" box.
Sharing with a Link
Changing Permissions
You can also edit sharing permissions. For example, if you only want the recipient to be able to view a folder but not edit it, click on the three dots to the side of their name, and uncheck Allow editing and Allow deleting.
