Hi everyone,
I've been working on a feature that addresses a long-standing limitation in Friendica: while users have always been able to upload files (attachments), there was never a way to manage or delete them. I wanted to give users proper control over their uploaded files.
The challenge:
- Files uploaded via attachments couldn't be deleted
- No quick accessible overview of uploaded files
- No way to see which posts use specific attachments
- Storage kept growing with no cleanup option
The goal:
I've created a file management interface where users can:
- View all their uploaded files in a table
- See file size, type, and upload date
- Download files
- Delete individual or multiple files
- See which posts use each file (with links to those posts)
- Track total storage usage
File used in Posts View:
I'm not entirely sure if the Settings menu is the right place for this feature. What do you think? Would it make more sense elsewhere, or is Settings appropriate?
I'd appreciate any feedback!
