Web browser requirements
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
For the best experience with the Nextcloud web interface, we recommend that
|
|
you use the latest and supported version of a browser from this list:
|
|
|
|
* Google **Chrome**/Chromium (Desktop and Android)
|
|
* Mozilla **Firefox** (Desktop and Android)
|
|
* Apple **Safari** (Desktop and iOS)
|
|
* Microsoft **Edge**
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Not all versions are supported. Nextcloud is tested and built to work with `these versions only.

|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you want to use Nextcloud Talk you need to run Mozilla **Firefox** 52+
|
|
or Google **Chrome**/Chromium 49+ to have the full experience with video calls and
|
|
screensharing.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Microsoft **Internet Explorer** is **NOT** supported.
|
|
|
|
Navigating the main user interface
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
By default, the Nextcloud Web interface opens to your Dashboard or Files page:

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
:alt: The main Files view.
|
|
|
|
In Files you can add, remove, and share files, and the server administrator
|
|
can change access privileges.
|
|
|
|
The Nextcloud user interface contains the following fields and functions:
|
|
|
|
* **Apps Selection Menu** (1): Located in the upper left corner, you'll find all
|
|
your apps which are available on your instance of Nextcloud. Clicking on an
|
|
app icon will redirect you to the app.
|
|
|
|
* **Apps Information** field (2): Located in the left sidebar, this provides
|
|
filters and tasks associated with your selected app. For example, when you
|
|
are using the Files app you have a special set of filters for quickly
|
|
finding your files, such as files that have been shared with you, and files
|
|
that you have shared with others. You'll see different items for other apps.
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
* **New** button (5): Located in the Navigation Bar, the ``New`` button
|
|
enables you to create new files, new folders, or upload files.

|
|
Files Application View to upload them to your instance.

|
|
to search for files and entries of the current app.
