Improving the Cloudron File Manager UX

[IniBudi]

I really like the new menu design in the latest Cloudron release. The layout feels very similar to Cloudflare; it’s cleaner, easier to navigate, and it makes switching between sections noticeably faster.

Would it be possible to bring a similar structure and usability improvements to the File Manager as well?

Right now, the File Manager works fine, but compared with something like the cPanel file manager, navigation could be more flexible. For example, cPanel offers:

• A collapsible folder tree on the left, so you can quickly jump between directories without repeatedly going “up” and “down” the path
• Clear information about each item, such as:
  • File permissions (e.g., 0644, 0755)
  • File type (file, directory, symlink, etc.)
  • Optional metadata like size and last modified time, all in one view

Having a similar folder-tree view and basic file details directly visible in Cloudron’s File Manager would make it much easier to manage files.

Some ideas that might fit well with the new UI direction:

• Left-hand sidebar with an expandable folder tree.
• Main panel showing:
  • Name
  • Type (file/folder)
  • Size
  • Last modified
  • Permissions/owner (even read‑only would already be very helpful)

Thank you for all the work on the new UI, it’s a great step forward already.
