File Viewer
The Files tab provides a file browser for accessing your data and processing directories on the
facility file system (Fig. 1). By default, the page will open your /data/username directory.
If you want to open your /home directory, click the home icon in the breadcrumbs.
You will see a list containing My Home which will open /home/username. The File Viewer will display the contents of most files.
Figure 1. The File Viewer tab will open all types of files (text, json, image, binary file headers, plots, scan files, etc.)
