File & Folder Info

The Info sidebar shows a file’s or folder’s details and gives you quick actions. To open it, right-click the item or click its three-dot menu and choose Info.

File Details

  • Name: the file’s name. Click to edit it if you can edit the file.
  • Description: an optional note about the file. Click to add or edit it.
  • Public Link: for public files, the link anyone can use. See Private & Public.
  • Details: the Owner, Type, Size, Created date and, after changes, Modified date.
  • Members: the people who have access, with their roles. When there’s more than one, click their photos to show the list. Click someone to open their profile in Collab, or use the buttons beside them: Add friend, when you aren’t friends and haven’t sent them a request, and Message, which opens your direct message with them in Collab. Your own row isn’t clickable and has no buttons.
  • Associations: chats, tasks and other items linked to this file.

Folder Details

  • Name and Description: editable like a file’s.
  • Details: the Owner, number of Files, total Size (of the files that are not archived, subfolders included), Created and Modified dates.
