File Manager

The File Manager element provides a full file browsing interface with folder navigation, file listings, breadcrumb trails, search, and upload capabilities. It supports three layouts from a full explorer view to a compact file list.

Modes

Explorer Mode

The default mode provides a complete file management interface:

  • Header with breadcrumb navigation (Home / Documents / Reports), search field, and upload button
  • Folders section showing folder cards with icons, names, and item counts in a horizontal row
  • Files section with a table layout:
    • Column headers: Name, Size, Date, and action menu
    • Each file row shows the file icon, name, size, date, and a three-dot menu
    • First folder highlighted with accent color tint
  • Full-featured layout suitable for primary file management views

Grid Mode

An icon-based grid layout:

  • Header with title, search field, and upload button
  • 4-column grid displaying folders and files as icon cards
  • Each card shows a large icon, name, and either item count (folders) or file size (files)
  • Clean visual layout for browsing files by visual representation

Compact Mode

A minimal file list:

  • Header with "Files" title and upload button
  • Simple vertical list with file icon, name, and size
  • Divider lines between entries
  • Smallest footprint -- suitable for sidebars or secondary panels
