Web app

Day-to-day use of the browser UI - files, sharing, account security, and API keys.

Signing in

Use the username and password issued by your admin (or the bootstrap admin from setup). Sessions use HttpOnly cookies - tokens are not stored in localStorage.

If your account has TOTP enabled, login asks for an authenticator code (or backup code) after the password step.

Files and folders

• Browse a single unified tree - not per physical disk.
• Create folders, rename, move, download, delete (to trash).
• Set folder priority (Normal / Medium / High). Files can override the folder default where permitted.
• Uploads use resumable tus transfers. There is no fixed max size beyond effective pool capacity.
• Upload UI shows replication cost (e.g. how much pool space a High-tier file will use) and at-risk outcomes when not all copies land.

At-risk badges

When actual copies are below the tier target but at least one copy exists, files show an at-risk state (e.g. 3/4 copies). Detail panels list missing drives and retry info. Acknowledge warnings when the UI asks before dismissing them.

Storage widget

Shows raw free space across drives and effective free after replication planning. Prefer effective free when deciding whether an upload will fit.

Sharing

• Share a folder with other users: roles read / write / admin-on-folder (folder admin is not the same as system admin).
• Public share links are supported separately from your web session.

Trash

Deleted items go to trash and can be restored. Emptying trash permanently removes blob copies in the background.

Account settings

• Update display name and email; upload an avatar.
• Enable or disable TOTP; regenerate backup codes.
• Review and revoke browser sessions and linked sync devices.
• Change your password.

API keys

If your admin enables API keys, you can create keys scoped read or read-write (optional expiry). Keys use Authorization: Bearer and skip CSRF. Treat them like passwords.

Media and search

Depending on your deployment, the UI may include photo/media browsing, file search, and in-browser viewers (including archives and spreadsheets). Features available to you depend on folder permissions and admin configuration.
