Files

The Files plugin brings your file storage, for example grommunio Files, into grommunio Web. You can browse your folders, upload and preview documents, share them with others and attach them to mails without downloading them first.

Switching Files on

1. Open Settings › Plugins.
2. Tick Files Plugin and click Apply.
3. Reload grommunio Web when asked.

A Files tab appears in the top bar. Until you add an account, it shows There are no accounts added. Go to settings, Files tab and add an account.

Adding a Files account

1. Open Settings › Files.
2. Click Add Account.
3. Enter an Account name, for example grommunio Files, and choose the Files Backend: Default (WebDAV, used for grommunio Files and other WebDAV servers) or Seafile.
4. Enter the connection details your administrator gave you:
   • Server address, for example mail.example.com,
   • Server port (443) and Use TLS,
   • Webdav base path, for grommunio Files /files/remote.php/webdav (without a slash at the end).
5. Either tick Use grommunio credentials for authentication, or enter a Username and Password.
6. Click Save and Apply.

The account appears in the list with its status and the features it supports (quota, version information, sharing, fast up- and download). A green status means the connection works.

Tip

Your administrator can set up the Files account for you in advance. With single sign-on, grommunio Web uses your sign-in for Files, so you don't need to enter a password.

Browsing your files

Click Files in the top bar. The folder pane shows your accounts and their folders; the middle shows the contents of the selected folder, and the preview on the right shows the selected file.

Button	What it does
Upload	uploads files from your computer. You can also drag files into the list.
Create document	creates a new document, presentation or spreadsheet (if OnlyOffice is available).
New Folder	creates a folder.
Preview	opens the selected file in the document viewer.

Double-click a file to open it: office documents open in OnlyOffice if your administrator enabled it, everything else in the viewer. Right-click a file for Info with the details. Switch between the List and Icons view and the position of the preview with Switch view in the toolbar.

Sharing files and folders

Select a file or folder and click Share:

• Share with user/group: add colleagues and decide whether they may re-share, change, create or delete.
