### Downloading and uploading files - File Browser allows you to upload and download files directly from the web UI using the array of icons in the top right corner of the page - During upload and downloading, FileBrowser will display a light blue bar in the top left-hand corner moving right to indicate progress; It is also confirmed as in progress by the changing of the icon on the right-hand side into spinning arrows ### Adding a User and Setting file access - Under Settings, you will find the option to create a user.

Field	Use
Username	Desired Username for user
Password	Desired Password for user
Scope	This is an essential option as this will be the folder the user may access. In this example, it is set to `./share,` which is `/home/username/share` Note: It is not recommended to point this directly to a rclone mount as this will cause extreme IO and possibly cause issues with your slot
Permissions	You can set the kind of actions a user can perform; for example, you may want to allow download but never allow upload so that a user can not deposit files onto your slot. You'd untick create Files and Directories

### Troubleshooting #### Why can I not upload any file above 2 Gigabyte?

Please note that in the event you have to reinstall your webserver, this fix will not remain and will need to be reapplied. It will persist over restarts, however.

- Nginx can cause uploads to fail, this is simple to address by editing a file. ``` nano ~/.apps/nginx/proxy.d/filebrowser.conf ``` - Find the line that begins `client_max_body_size` and add a `#` at the start of the line to comment it out if it exists - Press `CTRL+x`, then press `Y` and `ENTER` to confirm. - Execute the following command to restart Nginx and FileBrowser: ``` app-nginx restart && app-filebrowser restart ``` - You should now be able to successfully upload larger files.
