I have been using NextCloud for a few months now, and I have a feature to suggest to the development team.
In the Files explorer, there is the option to display “Recommandations” which displays a few files that could be of interest for the user.
When hovering these files, the context helper displays the path to said file.
What I’d like to have is the option to go to the file folder directly (either with a discrete button alongside the file, or through the right-click menu) instead of having to look at the path, remember it, and navigate to the file.
I know that opening the file briefly and then closing it moves the File Explorer to the desired folder, but this is something my non-technocrate colleagues won’t remember.
Many thanks to everyone who contributes to this project,
Best regards
Maybe you misunderstand the idea of the “Recommendations” app (which can be disabled by the way). If a file shows up there, the recommendation is the file itself and not the folder of it.
If you want to have certain folders easily accessible, the better way would be to add them as favorite, so they show up in the navigation bar on the left in the list of favorites.
Thank you for your quick answer! While I understand your point, I am not sure that answers my question, or just partly.
To me, the point of recommandations is to have a quick access to files that I may not have been editing myself lately (otherwise I’d have them pinned in my Favorites already if I need quick access to them regularly). Moreover, newly created files from colleagues appear in there as well, which I do not necessarily know what they’re about without looking at the file path.
Thus, having a quick and easy way of accessing the recommended file’ folder would be of great help.
There is no “recommende files folder” - it is only about files, not folders. The recommendation is not inteded as “look into this folder, there is a new file for you” but as “here is a file which may be relevant for you”.
