Operations in Files are essentially the same as in other file managers. This page will introduce some common tasks in Files to get you started.

Upload files ​

    • Right-click in an empty space and select from the context menu.

INFO

Files supports resumable uploads. If an upload is interrupted, it will automatically resume from the last checkpoint.

Download files ​

When downloading multiple files, the behavior differs between the Files in Olares and LarePass desktop application.

  • Files in Olares (web interface): Automatically packages files into a zip file for download, requiring manual extraction.
  • LarePass desktop: Downloads are queued, allowing you to pause, resume, or cancel tasks, and easily locate downloaded files.

For large files or multiple downloads, it's recommended to use the LarePass desktop application for more powerful download management and a better user experience. Visit the official page for details and download options.
