Hi, why is there no rename folder action in "Files"? though I can do it through console.. :)

I'm sure it's on the list, but the staff can confirm that. It just isn't as high as other types of features since it will be more of a refinement, so unless the users ask for it to be prioritized it will remain low on the list. I'm sure the staff will up-vote it on your behalf if you would like...☺

Just like a2j says, it's on the list. I've upvoted it on your behalf.

I would also appreciate having this feature very much.

I've upvoted it -- will keep y'all posted...

I can't find this option to rename files... Andrea

Right, it's not there yet. The best way to rename a file is to start a bash console and do it from there.

Add this feature please.

I've added an upvote on your behalf.

If you might upvote it in my favor as well, I would be very grateful.

No problem.

me 2. I would also suggest moving the upload button to the top ...having to scroll to the bottom when there are a lot of files is a pain.

Upvoted -- thanks!

thanks, upvoted.

Upvote please

@eannaboland -- done!

I'd also love this feature!

upvoted!

I also need the feature, because doing it by console is possible but time consuming, just for changing a name, man!

Upvoted again! But I'd be interested in knowing what makes it time-consuming for you -- it should just be a case of

mv old-file-or-directory-name new-file-or-directory-name

While that's obviously not idea from a UI perspective -- a graphical way of doing it on the "Files" page would be a big improvement -- the command-line way of doing it shouldn't take much time once you know what the command looks like.

I also need this Feature. Thanks in advance

Noted, thanks.

Thanks!

I would also have the UI faeture to rename files/folders...

Thanks! Noted.

How do we rename files? It's been a decade since this thread was started, but I don't see any method in the web interface. You can only delete or upload.

ticket upvoted again

Hello

Thanks, upvoted!

I found a way, open the bash terminal and type mv OLD_FILE_NAME NEW_FILE_NAME. I just renamed my index.html to test_index.html typing "mv index.html test_index.html" without the quotations ofc. Clunky but it might be helpful to someone. Would be good if there was an easier way tho.

Yes, that's the best way to do that right now. You can also use the same command to rename directories.
