File Browsing
The file browser is the main view in Crabdrop. It displays all files and folders at the current path in your S3 bucket.
Navigation
- Click a folder to navigate into it
- Click the back arrow to go up one level
- Breadcrumb path shows your current location
File List
Each file entry shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | File or folder name |
| Size | Human-readable file size (folders show —) |
| Modified | Last modified date |
| Encrypted | Lock icon if the file is encrypted |
Folders are always displayed before files.
Selection
- Single click selects a file (highlights it)
- Double click opens a folder or downloads a file
- Escape deselects the current selection
- Arrow keys move the selection up and down
Right-Click Menu
Right-clicking a file shows a context menu with:
- Download — download the file
- Share — generate a presigned URL
- Delete — delete the file (with confirmation)
Pagination
S3 returns results in pages. Crabdrop handles pagination automatically using continuation tokens, loading all objects at the current prefix.
Encrypted File Display
Encrypted files are stored with UUID filenames in S3. Crabdrop reads the encrypted metadata file to resolve UUIDs back to their original filenames, so you see the real name in the browser — not the UUID.
