My Files

My Files is your personal cloud storage for WING snapshot files. Instead of re-uploading files every time you use Wing Tools, you can store them in your account and access them from any device.

Overview

With My Files, you can:

  • Upload and store snapshot files securely in the cloud
  • Organize files into folders for different shows, venues, or clients
  • Star important files for quick access
  • Access files directly from Routing Generator, Signal Flow, and Routing Diff tools
  • Search through your files by name

Note: My Files requires a Wing Tools account. Create a free account to get started.

Uploading Files

Drag and Drop

The easiest way to upload:

  1. Navigate to My Files from the main menu
  2. Drag your .snap file onto the file manager area
  3. Release to upload
  4. Progress bar shows upload status
  5. File appears in your list when complete

Browse and Select

Alternatively, use the upload button:

  1. Click the Upload button in the toolbar
  2. Navigate to your .snap file
  3. Select the file and click "Open"
  4. Upload proceeds automatically

Duplicate Detection

Wing Tools automatically detects duplicate files based on content (SHA256 hash):

  • If you upload a file that already exists, you'll see a notification
  • The notification shows where the existing file is located
  • You can view the existing file or cancel the upload

This prevents wasting storage on identical files.

Organizing Files

Creating Folders

Keep your files organized with folders:

  1. Click the New Folder button in the toolbar
  2. Enter a name for your folder (e.g., "Summer Festival 2025")
  3. Click Create
  4. Navigate into the folder by clicking on it

You can create folders inside other folders for deeper organization.

Moving Files Between Folders

To move files:

  1. Select the file(s) you want to move by clicking their checkboxes
  2. Click the Move button in the toolbar
  3. Select the destination folder
  4. Click Move

You can also drag and drop files between folders.

Renaming Files

Each file has a display name that you can customize:

  1. Click the edit icon (pencil) next to a file
  2. Enter the new display name
  3. Press Enter or click Save

The original filename is preserved for reference.

Quick Access

The sidebar provides quick access to commonly needed file views:

  1. Click the star icon next to any file
  2. The star turns filled/colored to indicate it's starred
  3. Click again to unstar

Starred files appear in this quick access view regardless of which folder they're in.

Trash

Files you delete are moved to Trash first:

  • Restore: Click the restore icon to bring a file back
  • Permanent Delete: Click the delete icon to permanently remove a file
  • Trash is emptied periodically to free up storage

Warning: Permanently deleted files cannot be recovered.

  • File count shows how many files you have
  • Color changes as you approach limits:
    • Green: Plenty of space available
    • Yellow: Approaching your limit (80%+)
    • Red: At or over limit

Managing Storage

If you're running low on storage:

  1. Delete files you no longer need
