Open or download a file

Open a folder, download a file, or follow a saved link, and find your way back up through the path.

Selecting a row does the obvious thing for what's on it. A folder opens, a file downloads, and a link takes you to its page.

A folder
Opens in place, with its contents listed and its name added to the path at the top.
A file
Downloads to wherever your browser keeps downloads, ready to open in whatever program handles it. The file also goes to the top of your Recent Files.
A link
Opens its web page in a new browser tab. Nest stays where it was in the tab you left.

Download from the menu

Every file's menu also has Download, which does the same as selecting the row. It's the safer choice when you only mean to point at a row, because a stray select on a file starts a download.

  1. Point at the file's row and select the three dots at its right-hand end, or right-click the row.

  2. Select Download.

Find your way back

The path above the list shows every folder between My Folders and where you are. Select any step in it to go straight back to that level.

The Minutes folder open inside Board Packs. The path at the top reads My Folders, then Board Packs, then Minutes. Below it two files, Board Minutes - 21 July 2026.docx and Board Minutes - 20 April 2026.docx, each uploaded by Eleanor Whitfield.
The path. Each folder name in it is a way back.
