Shared Team Chat Files

The /Teamchat/ virtual folder appears at the root of the file browser when the user belongs to any chat rooms. Each room has its own subfolder with shared files:

/
├── Dokumente/
├── Downloads/
├── Teamchat/           ← Virtual folder
│   ├── Project Alpha/  ← Room name
│   │   ├── notes.md
│   │   └── data.csv
│   └── General/
│       └── welcome.md
└── ...

Shared files are stored in userdata/shared/room_{ID}/ on the server.

File Storage

Each user's files are stored in userdata/user_{ID}/ on the server filesystem. The directory structure maps 1:1 to what the user sees in the Files app.

App Data Integration

Several apps automatically sync their data to the filesystem:

App	Path	Format
Finance	~/Dokumente/Finanzen/	Overview.md + CSV
Documents	~/Dokumente/Wiki/{Category}/	Markdown
Maps	~/Dokumente/Karten/	Orte.md + GeoJSON
Chess	~/Dokumente/Schach/	Games.md + PGN
Rechner	~/Dokumente/Rechner/	Verlauf.md
Kontakte	~/Dokumente/Kontakte/	Alle-Kontakte.md + Geburtstage.md
Kalender	~/Dokumente/Kalender/	Naechste-30-Tage.md
Aufgaben	~/Dokumente/Aufgaben/	Uebersicht.md + Mein-Tag.md + Ueberfaellig.md
Wetter	~/Dokumente/Wetter/	Aktuell.md
Sprachmemos	~/Dokumente/Sprachmemos/	Uebersicht.md + Transcripts

v3.12 Updates v3.12

Bulk ZIP Download

Download multiple files at once as a ZIP archive:

• Multi-select toolbar — When multiple files are selected, a download button appears in the toolbar
• Server-side ZipArchive — PHP's ZipArchive extension compresses selected files on the server
• Max 100 files — Bulk download is limited to 100 files per request to prevent server overload
• Shared Teamchat files — Bulk download also works in /Teamchat/ shared folders

Integrierter PDF-Viewer v4.1

Ab v4.1 oeffnet ein Klick auf eine PDF-Datei einen integrierten Split-View direkt in der Dateien-App. Die PDF wird neben der Dateiliste mit PDF.js gerendert -- mit Seitennavigation und Zoom. Die separate PDF-Viewer-App wurde deaktiviert.

DM Folder Names

Direct Message room folders in the /Teamchat/ virtual directory now display human-readable names:

• Before: dm_1_2 (cryptic internal room name)
• After: DM mit Kevin (shows the other participant's display name)

This applies to both the folder listing and the breadcrumb navigation.
