Yetishare for the most part is well made but there are still some oversights that need to be ironed out in the file manager because users are stupid and can't fend for themselves because users tend to see only when things are "off" rather than the big picture.
So here is a list of minor things that need to be tweaked or ironed out in the file manager.

#1: Shift-clicking in file manager to select multiple files at once (ctrl-clicking only lets users add a single file to selection).

#1b: Can't ctrl-click or otherwise select a folder.

#2: blank right-click menus on left sidebar

this can be unsightly and confusing.

#3: Can only empty trash by right-clicking

It's not immediately apparent to users that they can empty their trash, having a button would be useful.

#4: When you delete a folder all of the contents spill out into the lower directory rather than being deleted with the folder. This should possibly become an option when a folder with contents is deleted to prevent a mess.

Edit-
#5: ability to unzip files that are uploaded to the server. This may run the risk of people unzipping files and going over their storage quota which can be a pain to account for. Some services offer this and many find this useful.

#6: Better mobile support. cannot access sidebar features (like trash) on mobile.

I hope some of these are considered for later versions, with just a little a lot of spit-shine it can be made a lot better. :D
Since these are all related I just posted them under the same thread.

and maybe add the file select and appear copy button to for example folder. Now user's must open the edit file and choose the folder.
