===== Transfer, Copy, and Delete Files =====

The File Browser is composed of four parts:
  - The toolbar allows you to perform a range of functions, such as changing the way files are displayed and uploading files to streaming files and creating folders.
  - **Folders** shows the folder structure on the selected share.
  - **Details** displays information on a selected file, such as name, thumbnail (image files), file type, dimensions (photos), or duration (videos), while **Search** allows you to search for files based on file name.
  - Review the files within a select folder. To view the files as thumbnails, click **Thumbs** in the Tool bar.
