Searching & Filtering

Find files quickly using search and filters.

Search in Action

  1. Click the search bar in the header (or press /)
  2. Type your search query
  3. Results appear as you type

Search looks at file and folder names within the current share.

Search Tips​

  • Search is case-insensitive ("Report" finds "report.pdf")
  • Partial matches work ("proj" finds "project_final.docx")
  • Search includes subfolders
  • Click the X in the search bar
  • Press Escape
  • Delete all text in the search bar

Filtering by Stars​

To show only starred (favorited) files:

  1. Click the Star filter button in the header
  2. Only starred files are shown
  3. Click again to show all files

This is useful for quickly accessing your most important files.

Sorting​

Click the sort dropdown in the header to sort by:

Sort OptionDescription
NameAlphabetical order (A-Z or Z-A)
SizeLargest or smallest first
ModifiedMost recent or oldest first

In list view, you can also click column headers to sort.

Combining Search and Filters​

You can use search and filters together:

  1. Filter to show only starred files
  2. Search within those starred files

This narrows down results quickly in large shares.

Finding Files Across Shares​

Currently, search works within one share at a time. To find a file when you don't know which share it's in:

  1. Check "All Shares" view
  2. Open each likely share and search
  3. Use file tags to organize across shares
