Advanced Features of Webix JavaScript File Manager
Everything you expect from a modern JavaScript File Manager component is already available right out of the box. And that's just the starting point. Go beyond the basics with File Browser advanced capabilities built for real-world workflows.
Upload & download files
Create, delete, rename
Copy, move, organize
Search & sorting
Table and cards views
Drag-and-drop support
Original Folder Structure Upload
Webix File Manager component provides a ready-to-use file management UI for web applications, allowing you to upload entire folders with their structure preserved. No need to rebuild hierarchies on the backend or handle files one by one; manage files in web apps easily.
Split Panels/Dual-Pane View
Work with a dual-pane file manager interface for faster navigation and bulk file operations. Move, copy, and compare files faster using a familiar dual-pane file manager (like Total Commander or Finder). Built for real bulk operations, not just basic file browsing.
Preview Panel for Documents & Media
Preview files instantly in a unified panel, including document preview (PDF, TXT), image preview, and media playback. No need to integrate separate viewers — everything works out of the box, and UI elements like the player or editor can be configured or hidden when not needed.
Drag-and-Drop File Upload & Download
Upload and download multiple files with ease using the built-in manager. Webix JS File Manager supports drag-and-drop and bulk operations with no additional setup required, so you don’t have to build file handling from scratch.
Backend Support for Node.js & Go
File Manager includes ready-to-use backend solutions for Node.js and Go, along with REST API support for integration with your own services. This allows you to connect the component to existing systems, control file storage, and extend functionality without building backend logic from scratch.
Open File Location from Search
Use advanced file search with filters and highlighted matches to quickly locate files in large datasets. Jump straight from search results to the file’s location in the folder tree. There is no need to hunt through directories, you can quickly get context and keep working, even in large file structures.
File Manager Grid and Tree Views
Webix File Manager supports multiple views depending on your task: grid, card, and dual-pane. Use tables for data-heavy work, thumbnails for media, and dual view for bulk operations — all in one feature-rich component, with no extra setup. Keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+F and Ctrl+A help speed up navigation.
Webix Jet Architecture for Customizable App Structure
File Manager is built as a Webix Jet app, so you can customize views, plug in your own logic, and control how data flows. Extend it with features like multi-file text editing or tailor the UI and behavior to fit any complex app.
