Browse Cloud Documents and Directories

The File Manager lets you browse the directories and documents that sync with your cloud, without leaving Odoo. You can create directories on the cloud, open files in the provider and keep your favorite documents close at hand. Portal users see their documents and directories in the portal.

Open the File Manager

  1. Go to Cloud Storage ‣ File Manager ‣ Directory.

  2. Click a directory to open it.

The list shows the directories you can access. You see what you own or what someone has shared with you.

  • Cloud Link: the link to the directory in the provider.
