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.

  • 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:

ColumnDescription
NameFile or folder name
SizeHuman-readable file size (folders show )
ModifiedLast modified date
EncryptedLock 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.
