Files and editor

The file browser shows the workspace folder as it exists on disk. Browse the tree, type in the filter to narrow it, and use the breadcrumb to move back up. Files show recognizable icons by type and their sizes at a glance.

Work with files

Create files and folders, rename, and delete from the browser. Upload from the device you're on, or just drag and drop files in. Right-click (long-press on touch) a file or the folder background for a context menu with the common actions, including copying a file's path and downloading it to the device you're browsing from.

Everything here operates on the real filesystem: a rename in the browser is a rename on disk.

Edit

Open a file and it appears in an editor tab with syntax highlighting. Keep as many files open as you like; drag a tab into a split to see two files side by side: an implementation next to its test, a config next to the docs that describe it. Splits and open tabs are part of the workspace layout, so they're restored when you come back, from any device.

Preview

Many formats render instead of showing raw bytes:

MarkdownRendered document
ImagesInline image view
PDFPage viewer
CSV / TSVTable view
DOCX / XLSXDocument and spreadsheet rendering

For anything the browser can't render, open the raw text or download the file.
