Introducing Files, the new file browser on umbrelOS

umbrelOS 1.4 Beta 1 introduces Files, a new file manager that turns your Umbrel into a full-blown home cloud, along with Korean language support and various bug fixes.

This update will be rolling out today to users enrolled in the umbrelOS Beta Program. To enroll, go to Settings > Advanced Settings > umbrelOS Beta Program.

Files

  • Create, upload, and organize files and documents.
  • Share folders over your local network, and easily add them as network drives on macOS, Windows, iOS, or Android.
  • Set up a shared folder as a Time Machine backup location on macOS.
  • Preview all your photos, videos, PDFs, and audio files.
  • Access app data folders.

External (USB) storage support for Umbrel Home arrives in umbrelOS 1.4 Beta 2.

This is awesome! How long do you expect before beta 2 is out? Will external storage support work for other devices (i.e. our own mini PC that UmbrelOS is installed on)? How about additional internal storage like a second NVME drive?
