The majority of File Managers include all of the activities that one can execute on a file or directory on the top of the page. We believe the latter is just not user–friendly enough.

You can rename, copy, move, download, edit, preview, archive, unarchive and delete any file or directory you decide with merely a mouse–click.

Each of the files within your cloud hosting account are organized into directories. Every single host features its own main directory, that follows the file hierarchy that you’ve defined.

By default, you will notice each of the hosts conveniently contained in a table and when you mouse–click once over a specific host, you’ll see the whole set of sub–folders and files pertaining to it. By clicking on two times, you will visit a webpage that is focused entirely on that host only. Another way to load the folder related to a particular host and then to work with it exclusively, is to try using the drop–down menu towards the top of the primary File Manager file table.
