mill3000 Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago File Browser One of our most requested features is here. You can now manage your files without ever leaving Command Deck. Browse, inspect, and manage files on your server directly from Command Deck with a two-pane layout and details panel Switch between icon and list view modes Copy, move, delete, and rename files and folders with tracked progress and per-file transfer notifications Upload and download files directly to your NAS when on Local (this works over VPN connections as well, just not through the hosted Command Deck) Drag-and-drop upload support with bulk batching Download files from the internet directly to your server with optional checksum verification Shift-click range selection and Ctrl/Cmd-click toggle selection for managing multiple files at once Burn ISO files directly to USB devices attached to your server with verified writes and step-by-step progress tracking (Local connection required) Apps First-boot-only install questions are now hidden from app Options after initial setup, keeping the settings view clean App update notifications are now grouped by day with the date each update was first detected Newly curated apps now appear newest-first in the catalog App version display now shows both the app version and TrueNAS catalog version Storage Cache, log, special, and dedup vdev members are now correctly assigned to their pool instead of appearing as unused drives Reliability DNS rebind protection detection: if your router is blocking Command Deck from reaching your server, HexOS now detects this and notifies you with guidance on how to fix it Improved hosted-mode banner: Return to Local is disabled until the local Command Deck is confirmed reachable NOTE: All of these updates are applied automatically to your Command Deck. You may need to clear your cache. Help with clearing your cache is available here. Release Notes Link: https://docs.hexos.com/release-notes/command-deck/2026-08-17

It would be so much easier than mapping multiple drives for people, if it was possible! For example if the local user accounts could be use to authenticate to HexOS Local deck, with just File Browser permissions. Is there a plan to include this feature at any stage, if not currently addressed?
mill3000 Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago No, not at this time. That seems like adding complexity we'd stay away from until we get all the major features out of the way. I know there seems to be many people who want to use this in a small business-type environment, which is great, but normal home users have been getting the short end of the stick win NAS software because every company has focused on business to make the big $$.

Totally understood. Also, when I say "users", I do mean my wife! :) And just cleaning it up so she doesn't have 6 mapped network drives. Small business type environments would probably have a lot less complexity than a home user doing multiple things, and have less pushback from their users because they get paid to deal with less-than-ideal UX. 1
mill3000 Posted 13 minutes ago Author Posted 13 minutes ago Knowing it's for the home, I'll look into this and see if we can add something like this to the to-do list. Thanks for elaborating and explaining.
