This screen shows the files currently contained within the defined content folder.

Individual files can be clicked to remove them from the folder. The “Delete all” button will remove every file from the folder.

To upload files, click the “Upload files” button. This will open a separate window, like this:

Drag files from Windows Explorer onto this new window to upload them. They will appear in the list shown by the main window.

To browse files within the folder on the Igloo screen, just open it in Igloo Web. It’s likely that this path was bookmarked for you during setup.

Configuration

The folder path to use for uploads is configured in C:\igloo\igloo-core-service\config.json.

Change the icedrop.directory property shown below to change the target folder.
This folder must already exist on the machine.
All backslashes in this string must be escaped (as shown below).

When setting this path, it’s helpful to bookmark it in Igloo Web too - just paste the directory from Windows Explorer into Igloo Web’s URL bar and then save it as a bookmark, part of a tabset, or however else you need to use the file browser.
