Specifications for offline access to downloaded files

[codedentwickler]

Amahi users should be able to download files to be accessed later, while online or offline. For example, they might want to have some files available during a flight like music or movies.

When a user long-clicks a file or clicks the menu button of each file, a user is presented with the option to download the file (and maybe some other actions, later) through a picker. The user chooses to download the file (we can use the same wording as in the Android app).

When the user opens Amahi (online or offline), the user can see an area at the topmost level where servers are listed maybe in another section named Downloads.

The user can then access files in the Downloads area. This area is a linear, sorted, list, most recently downloaded first. They can browse through the files as a linear list. The user can see the status of the file (e.g. progress, and perhaps percentage). The user can also, though some picker or something,

• Stop the file from downloading (if the file is not fully downloaded)
• open the file (e.g. to play it, or do the same options as in shares). This option must only be enabled if the file is completely downloaded
• share it (if the file is fully downloaded)
• delete it (either way)
  … (more TBD)

This is a brief overview of how Firefox for iOS does it

Is there any file syncing, when a file is updated in the server or locally updated by the user from outside the app?

@ARIHANTJAIN456 Currently we have not discussed on how to sync with the server when such cases arose.

No syncing. Syncing was never mentioned or considered as part of this feature.
