# Manage your files in the app

Browse your Drive in the Drime app, sort and display files, select several, move, copy, rename and download them, and find what each file menu offers.

The **Files** tab shows your Drive. At the top, you find the workspace switcher, **Select**, the search, and quick buttons to **Upload**, create a **Folder** or **Scan** a document.

## Sort and display your files

- Tap **Sort by** to sort by name, **Last modified** (the default, newest first), upload date, file size, type or extension, in ascending or descending order.
- Switch between the list (the default) and **View as grid**.

To keep a different sort or display for each folder, go to **Settings** \> **Gallery & Viewer** and turn on **Remember sort per directory** or **Remember view per directory**. Both are off by default.

## Select several files

Tap **Select**, or press and hold a file, then tap the other items. The bar at the bottom offers **Move**, **Delete** and **Select all**, and ⋮ for the full menu.

Deleting moves the items to the trash at once, without asking for confirmation. See [Restore or delete files from the trash in the app](https://drime.cloud/support/mobile/trash).

## Move or copy

1. In the file or folder's ⋮ menu, tap **Move / copy**.

   **Select destination** opens, on **My Drive**.

2. Open the destination folder, or create one with **New folder**.

3. Tap **Move here** or **Copy here**.

You can move or copy only inside the current workspace.

## What the file menu offers

Tap ⋮ next to a file or folder:

| Share with people or get a link | **Share**, **Get link**. See [Share from the app](https://drime.cloud/support/mobile/share-from-the-app) |

Downloading a folder gives one ZIP file. Several selected items download one by one. Photos and videos go to your phone's gallery, other files to your downloads.

## Files shared with you

In **Shared with me**, the menu of an item also offers **Make a copy**, to keep your own copy in your Drive, and an option to remove the item from your list, which makes you leave the share.

## What the app does not do

The app does not show the version history of Drive files, does not lock files, does not transfer ownership and does not edit a file's description. Do these on the web.
