File actions

EdgeRover™ lists different file actions depending on the folder or file type you’ve selected, and whether it’s shared or not. Here’s a list of actions you can do with your device and their descriptions:

Action Description
Add to Collection A grouping of different folders and files, similar to a photo album. Select the collections that you want to add the folder or file to, or create a new collection.
Info Details about the selected folder or the file.
  • For folders, this includes Name, File location, Date, and People with access.
  • For files, this includes Name, Location, Created, Modified, Size, Dimensions, and People with access. Files have an expandable section, which has Description, Tags, Location, and Camera information.
Select When you select any number of folders or files, a menu appears with the Add to Collection, Delete, Move, and More actions. A long-press on any item also activates the selection mode.
  • If you select a folder and choose More, the options are Rename and Share.
  • If you select a file, More includes Open in and Move.
Note: Different options appear for different types of files.
Share folder, file, photo, or video Share a folder or any type of file by text message, email invitation, or a third-party app.
  • For folders, the options are Send link (view-only) and Invite to collaborate.
  • For files, the options are Send link (view-only) and Delete shared link.
Send link (view-only) You can send links of your folders and files for others to view. This can be done through messages and third-party apps.
Delete shared link When you delete a shared link, any user that has the link isn’t able to access its contents.
Open in Your folders and files are exported, so they can be opened in different third-party apps on your device.
Save to camera roll This action saves your selected media files to your camera roll.
Rename You can rename any of your folders and files any time.
Move When you want to move a folder or file, there’s a default destination set. You can choose the destination, or create a new folder for the item. If the folder or file is shared, you receive a notice that users lose access after it’s moved.
Delete When you choose to delete a folder or file, a notice appears to confirm your decision and the number of items selected. EdgeRover permanently deletes the item, and it loses all Comments and Likes. If the item is shared, users no longer have access.
