How do I see details about a file in Delta Drive?

\n

Short answer: Select an item and choose Get info (or press space) to see its location, size, last change, whether it's kept on this Mac, any linked Mac folder, and links to versions and comments. Folders show no size.

\n

Select it and choose Get info (or press space). It shows where the item is, its size, when it changed, whether it's kept on this Mac, which folder on this Mac it's linked to and when that was last copied, and whether it's one of the drive's own starting folders. It also has buttons to that item's versions and comments.

\n

Folders don't carry a size of their own in cloud storage, so Get info won't show one for a folder.
