Contextual actions on folders on iPhone

The contextual actions on a folder include Share, Offline, Follow, Create Folder, Add, and Delete. The actions you can take on top-level folders are slightly different from the actions you can take on subfolders.

Top-level folders

Tap Files in the main menu to display your list of top-level folders.

Tap the menu icon to the right of a folder to open the folder menu. Alternately, open the folder then tap the menu icon at the top.

Depending on your permissions for this folder, you may not see all the menu items. Also, the Copy function is available only when opening the folder then selecting the menu bar.

  • Share: Allows you to share this folder with other users. If the folder is already shared, you can manage the existing shared participants for this folder or you can share this folder with new participants. See the  Sharing a folder  article for more information.
  • Offline: Marking a folder as Offline downloads the folder and its contents to your device and syncs it, allowing you to access the contents while offline. Changes to the folder and its contents are automatically downloaded. If a folder is already marked as a favorite, selecting Offline from the menu removes the folder from your favorites list. When a folder is marked as Offline, the folder menu shows the Offline option in blue and the folder has a star on its icon:

  • Copy: Tap this option to copy the files within the folder. You must be within the folder to access the Copy option. See Copying files for more information.
  • Create Folder: This action creates a subfolder inside the current top-level folder. See Creating folders for more information.
  • Add: This action provides a menu with Capture, Upload, Create, and Record. Each choice, essentially, allows you to upload content to the folder. See the various articles under Managing files for more information.
  • Delete: This action deletes the top-level folder and all its contents. See Deleting folders for more information.
