[Hosting] Improve File Manager

0

I’m looking at moving my site to your hosting but the file manager…yikes. It looks like it’s still on an IBM in the 80s. Can you guys bring it into the 21st century and have it look like a cPanel? Please.

    Hello Katrina, hope your day has been well. I’m curious, Is this just about the aesthetics? I mean, a hosting decision based on how things look and not how things work…. Whew, have you seen all the benefits here (by the way I’m just a living member, customer of WPMUDEV). Let alone the amazing support. … Having full access to your file manager is the same as cPanel. I actually think it’s more convenient for us. Then the fact that I’m working with WordPress guru’s (and guru’s may be an understatement) is a definite A+.

      Not just aesthetics. And I’m well aware of the support. I just renewed my membership again.

      But there are things missing from the file manager that I have had with other cPanels. Like the most basic: There is no trash, so you cannot delete a file and then restore it.

      I’ve had to do that plenty of times with my coding. So that’s just not available?

    Hi Enduring Epilepsy (Katrina) ,

    I do get you, however, the primary implementation of the File Manager was to ensure all the features and actions related to a control panel could be performed within the Hub side.

    I’ll make sure to bring your feedback to our team’s attention regarding your request so that they could check further about what further improvements that could be looked down the roadmap regarding the UI.

    Kind Regards,
    Nithin
