Description
Current behavior
Right now, there doesn't seem to be any way to view the path where a File system storage is located.
I have also noticed some additional issues / improvements, which I've detailed in the second attached image.
Image 2 (please read the annotations!)
Expected behavior
Path should be shown in the 'Configure Storage' section (located here).
Steps to reproduce
- Right click on a File System storage in the left sidebar.
- Click on 'Configure Storage'
Summary of improvements
-
Show whether the selected storage is File System, Local or Cloud in the 'configure storage' section.
-
Show the local path of the selected (file system/local) storage in the 'configure storage' section located here. (most important!)
-
Add 'back up this storage' function that would back the (single) storage folder up to an archive (with a timestamp/time and date as the default filename) and prompt the user to choose a location to save the archive to. (prompt to set optional archive password too maybe)
-
Add 'move this storage' function or similar that would allow you to move a file system storage folder to a new location. Prompt the user and ask whether they want to keep a copy of the old storage in the old storage location or delete it.
-
Add 'restore file storage by archive' option or similar into the menu (and 'create storage' section), that would allow a user to restore backups in archive format (not replacing any existing saved storages).
-
Add 'restore file system storage by path' option or similar into the menu (and 'create storage' section), that would allow a user to restore backups from specific folders that were backed up manually (not replacing any existing saved storages).
-
(optional) Add 'Organise Storages' option into the top menu or wherever convenient, that allows users to organise the order storages are displayed in the sidebar - and could also allow them to view paths, back things up, back up multiple storages at once (multiple folders within 1 archive), etc!. Edit: this one is related to Export entire folder or storage #491
