The Storage Manager screen¶
The screen is designed to open and view the contents of storage — local device folders, container files, images, encrypted volumes, network storage and other types supported by the application.
The screen displays a list of built-in and added storage, grouped by categories:
- local
- disk images
- encrypted
- cloud
- network
If the manager is called from the left sliding panel of the file manager, the category Application Navigation is additionally included in the list.
Categories can be collapsed and expanded by clicking on the title or the "Collapse / Expand" button.
For each storage, the name is displayed, and when the storage is open — the fill percentage, free and total space in megabytes. A lock icon may also be displayed:
- green — storage is open
- blue — storage is closed, available for opening
When clicking on the storage name:
- the Password Input screen opens (if required),
- or the File Manager screen opens upon successful storage opening,
- or an error message is displayed upon failure.
Clicking on the lock icon closes the corresponding storage.
The context menu is called by long pressing on the name and contains items:
- Settings — transition to the Storage Settings screen of the selected storage
- Remove from list — close and remove storage from the list (not available for built-in)
- Reset — reset the connection path for external storage
The list is updated with the "swipe down" gesture.
Control elements in the upper part of the screen¶
Application name EDS NG and menu.
On normal size screens, the menu contains:
- Search — opens the file manager in search mode for the main storage and settings
- Settings — transition to global settings
- More options — access to extended actions
On large size screens, additional items are displayed (for more details, see the section Additional Storage Manager Menu):
The "Plus" ("Add") button is located:
- in the lower right corner on normal screens
- in the upper right corner on large screens
When clicked, it opens the first step of the new storage creation wizard — the Storage Category screen.
If a menu item is not active due to lack of access, it will be displayed with the appropriate icon,
and when selected, the Premium Functionality Purchase Message will appear.
