Tjlejeune Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 unraid really needs a better way of browsing files than using a docker file manager, using the command line or using another pc on the network. would be great to have a simple file browser built into the web ui that allowed you to browse your local files and do simple functions like copy, move, delete, rename, and open some files (documents, videos, music, and text files for example). Basically something like dissident.ai built right into the webui. 10 1 Quote Link to comment
nuhll Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 +1 and file editor. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Alphahelix Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 +1 even if MC via ssh is ok, its not great. I have tried Krusader via docker, but it is no longer maintained. Quote Link to comment
nuhll Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) atleast we have now a terminal, but i guess file editor and file browser should be added extra. Edited December 31, 2017 by nuhll Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Normally all file operations for a NAS would be handled in the client desktop, not the local OS. At what point do you draw the line between maintaining a light resource NAS and a fully featured desktop OS? Since unRAID runs purely in RAM, all these add ons increase the required RAM footprint considerably, and detract from the core duty of being a NAS. I'd rather the core features stay lightweight, and if you have the extra resources, it would be better to spin up a "management" VM or dockers with all the file managers, viewers and editors that you desire. 1 Quote Link to comment
nuhll Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yeah, RAM is really a issue today... NOT. Also, all this nice options could be en or disabled in advanced settings. So that everyone can make it like someone want. 2 Quote Link to comment

So that everyone can make it like someone want. That's exactly what I said. If you want these advanced features, they are ALL currently available by using VM's or dockers. No need to add them to the core OS. 24 minutes ago, jonathanm said: I'd rather the core features stay lightweight, and if you have the extra resources, it would be better to spin up a "management" VM or dockers with all the file managers, viewers and editors that you desire. 1 Quote Link to comment
nuhll Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Why everyone makes all suggestions bad? I dont get it, whats wrong with you guys. They also added terminal, its also possible to SSH direct to unraid. Quote Link to comment

SpaceInvaderOne Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 +1 for file manager It would be nice to have a file manager built into webui. The Docker container file managers are okay would be nice to have that natively. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

UnRaid is already more than just network attached storage. Why not also give users the ability to easily manage files without dealing with docker or network privilege settings? Kinda seems like the web UI for a NAS OS should include an built in way to manage your files. Also +1 for ability to disable it if desired Edited January 21, 2018 by Tjlejeune 2 1 Quote Link to comment
go69cars Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I’d really like to see this as well Quote Link to comment
bnevets27 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Would be cleaner if built in. Rather then a docker/VM. Quote Link to comment
fonzie Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 This would definitely be nice. Quote Link to comment
WildAngel Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 +1 Proper (out of the box) file management is what a NAS should have.. Quote Link to comment
lankanmon Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 +1 Would be very useful for sure. I am currently using Krusader, but it is not the most efficient way to do it. Quote Link to comment
MvL Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 +100 indeed unRAID OS needs a file manager. Did you ever tried a Synology or Qnap NAS? Both have a excellent file manager. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
unrateable Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 +1 count me in. built-in filemanager would be awesome Quote Link to comment
Kuusou Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 +1 I'm currently utilizing the Krusader docker , as well as CA Config Editor for this task and would really love a built in file manager/editor with permissions available. Quote Link to comment
ytwytw Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I would like just to have a basic file explore to delete bad folders, create folders, copy/move files doing with docker solution is still not convenient as web interface plus, we can already browse files... Quote Link to comment
