General Features
At the top of the File Explorer tab are several file/directory actions:

- Delete - delete this directory and any files contained within it
Clicking on a file will open a context menu with the following options:
- Download - download a local copy of this file
- Import - open up the file import wizard for this file
- Delete - delete this file from KiFS
- Multi-Select - turn on multi-select mode and select this file, allowing for the deletion of multiple files at once
