    Great news! Breadcrumbs are back! Hansel and Gretel approve.

    Thanks all for your patience along the way. Do let us know if you have any additional feedback or have any questions. All the best and happy Monday, friends!

    Hi Rebecca,

    When utilizing the search feature, you can check the box next to the search to enable the file path. This will show which folder the file has come from at the bottom of the screen.

    Thanks!

    Hi Gerry,

    Could you show where the check box is in the search box? I can't find it when using the search bar.

    Thanks!

    Hi Gerry, I was just going to write and tell you I don't have a checkbox either and Dani beat me to it!

    My apologies, the checkbox should be next to the file name. Here is an example:

    Is there any way we can bring this feature back? It seemed to have disappeared after one of the more recent updates. I am DESPERATELY trying to find a file that my Files search results says exists -- I have scoured through nearly all the folders I have access to and cannot find it. I click the checkbox next to the file in the search results and it no longer gives me the breadcrumb trail, though it did at one point a while back. I am absolutely beyond baffled and have wasted quite a bit of my work time trying to find this file. I cannot just make a copy of this file and not know where the original one is....

    Strongly agree to have this feature back, otherwise, it is quite difficult to organise the folders where there are lots of folders, subfolders and files.

    Hello everyone, 

    I have good news! Our implementation team is working on bringing this back with the goal of it being done by the end of 2023. That is tentative but we will keep you in the loop with any progress/updates. 

    Thanks!

    Since we approach the end of the year, what is the latest update on implementation?

    Hi Michel!

    Thanks for keeping us honest here. I circled back to check for sure and there's been a slight delay on reimplementing the breadcrumbs feature and its now scheduled for early Q1 2024. We'll be sure to keep you apprised here and will let you know as soon as this does roll out.

    Thanks again and give us a holler if there are any questions. Cheers!

    Hi! Any chance the breadcrumb feature has been reimplemented yet? Know it is only 10 days into 2024 :) If not, any suggestions on how to locate a file that doesn't involve just clicking into folders?

    Hi Whitney!

    Sadly, breadcrumbs has not quite yet been re-added but soon.

    Lemme ask our experts on any workarounds they might have in the interim.

    Quick update.

    File path, aka breadcrumbs, has been slightly pushed back and is now planned for early Q2 2024. We appreciate your patience as we work to get this added back. Let us know if you have any questions for us or need anything else.

    Thanks!

    Hi there, just wanted to check if this had been implemented and if so, how to access the file path.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jo! 

    Sadly its not yet re-implemented. It is still planned and should be soon. We'll be sure to keep this post updated on that progress. Thanks for checking in and let us know if you have any follow-ups. Cheers!

    Hi Damian!

    Thanks for reaching out. I have it on good authority that this should be coming very soon, likely next week. We'll be sure to update you here too. Thanks again and give us a holler if you have any additional questions. Cheers!

    Hi Mike, I cannot figure out how to use the breadcrumbs feature. When I'm in a file, I cannot see anything that shows me where the file is located. Can you please explain?

  • Michel Kaiser

    +1 on Linda. would be great if the breadcrumbs would also show when in a file, not just in the files view.

    Hi Linda!

    Happy to clarify here. The breadcrumbs re-release only shows the location in the Files menu of Home (see example)

    The ability to see where the file is located from the file itself is not yet available, but we do have some requests for that enhancement. I am happy to get you and added to that. Thanks for chiming in on that. 

    Let me know if you have any follow-ups or need anything else. Happy Friday in the meantime!

    Mike - we're also interested in seeing breadcrumbs within files.
