About the file manager

The file manager is easily accessible from the sidebar, and it's the cornerstone for all you can do with the Team Files app. When you attach files and folders to your issues, you'll also be using the file manager, and it works the same way.

This page covers everything related to using the Team Files app, from what you can do with your files and folders to managing connected folders. Let's start with the latter since you always need at least one connected folder to use the app.

Managing connected folders

When you open the Team Files app, the first thing you'll see is a list of the connected folders. You can browse and use these folders to collaborate with your team.
