# 📁 Files
Files are super powerful in that they allow you to do basically anything and everything you could imagine that SharePoint would while giving us more information in the process. Managing the storage was a difficult thing, but with Nextcloud instead, it's much easier.
## 👨 My Files
Files are pretty easy to work with. It's basically like OneDrive or SharePoint on the web, but it comes with the added bonus of just being simpler. Your files are essentially all the ones that DON'T have a multi-people icon in them. You should see the TFC Documents folder has this icon in it. That simply means it's a group folder shared by everyone. This folder, is our old SharePoint stuff. It's everything, the documents, archive, pictures, movies, all of it. It's much simpler laid out just like a generic folder structure.

## Group Folder - TFC Documents
If you click into there you should see all those files making it easy for you to navigate. What we'll do is use this as the place to store our files. And everything in the home icon at the top is your personal files. This is the same as your OneDrive.

Should you want to move all your OneDrive files over to Nextcloud, please let me know and I'll help you make that happen, it can be lengthy process if you have a lot of files, but this will make backing them up very easy.
The nice thing about Nextcloud is I've personalized it to try and make everything easy. Right click on any file or folder and you can download it, share it, delete it, move and copy it. And Nextcloud can view a lot and I mean A LOT of files. In the near future I'll have a way to see and work with documents, spreadsheets, and slides online as well but since we don't have Microsofts online apps integrated, however, this is coming very soon and just something I'll have to fix up for us in a while.
