File Explorer

The built-in file explorer lets you browse and inspect files in your storage volumes directly from the Runcrate dashboard — no SSH required.

How to Access

1

Go to Storage

Navigate to Dashboard → Storage.
2

Click Explore

Find the volume you want to browse and click the Explore button.
3

Browse Your Files

The file explorer opens, showing the contents of your volume.

Features

Navigate through your folder structure using the breadcrumb trail at the top. Click any folder name in the breadcrumb to jump back to that level.

File Listing

Each file and folder displays:
ColumnDescription
NameFile or folder name (click folders to navigate into them)
SizeFile size in human-readable format (KB, MB, GB)
ModifiedLast modified date and time
Use the search bar to filter files by name within the current directory. This is useful for quickly finding specific checkpoints, datasets, or configuration files in large volumes.

Pagination

For directories with many files, the file explorer paginates results so you can navigate through large listings without performance issues.

Use Cases

Verify Uploads

Confirm that datasets or model weights were uploaded correctly after a training run, without needing to SSH into an instance.

Check Checkpoints

Browse your /checkpoints directory to see which training epochs have been saved and their file sizes.

Browse Datasets

Inspect dataset folder structure and verify file counts before mounting the volume to a new instance.

Quick Inspection

Look at folder sizes and modification dates to understand what is consuming storage space.
The file explorer is read-only from the dashboard. To upload, modify, or delete files, mount the volume to an instance and use SSH.
