Storage Explorer

The Storage Explorer is a feature that allows you to explore the files in your storage bucket. It is useful to navigate and browse the files in your storage bucket, as well as uploading, downloading, and deleting files.

Accessing the Storage Explorer

The Storage Explorer is available at /assets and can be accessed through the Supamode UI's Sidebar. The storage explorer requires a Select Data Permission for the Assets scope. The path pattern and the bucket of the storage item must match the permission you have.

Viewing files

You can navigate the files in your storage bucket just like you navigate your files in a file explorer on your computer.

When clicking on a file, you can see the details of the file, including the file name, size, and the last modified date.

You can also download, delete, or rename the file.

Uploading files

You can upload files to your storage bucket by clicking on the Upload Files button at the top right of the page.

Searching files

You can search for files in your storage bucket by using the search bar at the top of the page.

Using storage items in the Data Explorer

Once you've uploaded a file, you can use it in the Data Explorer, assuming the data type of the column is a storage reference, such as Image, File, Video or Audio.

Users have three options to use the storage item in the Data Explorer:

1. Upload a new file: This will upload a new file to the storage bucket - as configured in the storage bucket settings.
2. Pick an existing file: Users can pick an existing file from the storage bucket - which will store a reference to the file in the column.
3. Enter URL manually: Users can also enter the URL manually.

Browsing files from the file picker

If users choose to pick an existing file, they will be able to browse the files in the storage bucket.

Once the user selected a bucket, they can browse the files in the bucket:
