Apps / Files
File Browser
Your files, from any browser
A web file manager over the shared data pool — upload, move, rename, delete, and share a link. It runs as the same user as the media apps, so anything you drop here is immediately visible to them.

filesInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install filesWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| File Browser | :8086 | File Browser's admin account, created at install. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- It opens on the whole data pool, not just media — books, photos and downloads are sibling folders you can browse from the same place
- The admin password is generated at install time;
homebox secrets filesprints it - It runs as PUID:PGID from .env so files it writes are owned the same as everything else on the pool
