# WebUI Overview

You can access your files with the ownCloud Web interface, as well as: create, preview, edit, delete, share, and re-share files.

Important

Your ownCloud administrator has the option to disable these features. If any of them are missing on your system ask your server administrator.

## File Controls

When you mouseover, or hover over, a file in the Files view, as in the image below, ownCloud displays three file controls. These are:

1. Marking Favorites
2. Sharing Files
3. The Overflow Menu

### Marking Favorites

Click the star to the left of the file icon to mark it as a favorite, and quickly find all of your favorites with the Favorites filter on the left sidebar.

### Sharing Files

The sharing files control is a shortcut to the file and folder sharing functionality within ownCloud. ownCloud sharing supports:

- Sharing files and folders with users or groups
- Creating public shares with hyperlinks
- Listing recipients of existing shares
- Deleting existing shares

### The Overflow Menu

The Overflow Menu allows you to:

- Display File Details
- Rename files
- Download files
- Delete files

#### Display File Details

When you display details about a file, by clicking “Details” in the Overflow Menu, a set of tabs (or views) are available. These are:

View | Description
--- | ---
Details | This shows details about a file, such as its name, size, and when it was created or last updated.
Activity | This shows a history of activity on the file, such as when it was created, updated, and shared.
Sharing | It’s here that shares are managed. To know more, refer to the Sharing Files section.
Version | This shows a history of all the versions of the file. This is not available for folders.

You can see an example of the Activity view in the image below.
