Searching for a File or Folder

You can search for all files or folders in KooDrive globally by keyword and combined conditions. You can also go to a specific view to check the file list and quickly search for files by name.

Global Search

  1. Sign in to the KooDrive service plane. Only a HUAWEI ID can be used to log in to the KooDrive service plane.

    To log in as a common user, use the managed HUAWEI ID applied by the administrator for you on the console.

  2. Click on the top navigation bar.

  3. Enter a file or folder keyword in the search box and press Enter or click to perform the default search. You can set more search criteria, including the directory, type, update time segment, and owner of the file or folder. The system automatically searches for all files or folders in KooDrive based on the keyword and combined conditions and displays the search results in the list. When you click the owner search box, all users under the tenant are displayed.

    • The search result list displays the file or folder name, owner, size, directory, and update time. By default, files or folders are sorted by update time in descending order. They can be sorted by name, size, or update time in ascending or descending order. Folders are always on the top.
    • Click the directory where a file or folder is located to go to the directory where the file or folder is located. If a folder is found, you can click the folder name to go to the folder directory. All files or folders in the folder are displayed.
    • In the search result list, you can manage files or folders, including moving, copying, downloading, sharing, renaming, and deleting files or folders, adding files or folders to favorites, forwarding files or folders to the individual or team space, and checking file or folder details.
    • Spaces are not supported in global search or keyword search.
    • A department administrator or common user can search for files or folders in their individual space and team space. A tenant administrator can search for files or folders in their individual space and spaces of all departments under the tenant.
    • The search history under the search box displays the latest five search records. You can select a historical record to check the search result.
    • If the list data in the search result comes only from the individual space or team space, the My Space and Team Space tabs are not displayed.
