Browsing a bucket

Click a bucket in the sidebar.

Screenshot placeholder: a bucket open, showing files with Size, Modified, State and Checksum columns.

Current and All Versions​

The switch at the top of the window changes what the listing means.

Current shows the newest version of each name, which is what you would expect a file list to show.

All Versions shows every version B2 holds, including hide markers and unfinished uploads. This is the view that tells the truth about what you are storing. See Versions, and what they cost.

Folders​

B2 has no folders. What Bucketree shows as a folder is a / inside file names, and the app groups them for you because that is how people think. Nothing is created or destroyed by "entering" one.

Getting around​

  • Double-click or Return opens a folder, or downloads a file.
  • Space or the eye button previews the selected file without keeping it.
  • ⌘I or the ⓘ button shows everything B2 knows about it.
  • The breadcrumb bar and Root take you back up.

Paging​

Listings arrive a thousand at a time, and each page is a billed transaction, so Bucketree fetches more only when you ask. A Load More button appears at the bottom when there is more to see.

The cached label​

If the footer says cached, the listing came from memory and cost nothing. Bucketree drops what it holds whenever you write to a bucket, so a cached listing can never be older than your own last change. It is not kept between launches.
