Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In the normal files app you can easily select multiple files by using the checkbox for one file first, holding SHIFT and then clicking on another file. All files in between those two will be selected and can then e.g. be copied.

I noticed that this is not possible when you are in the trash bin. Even worse, when you hold SHIFT (as you are used) and then click on another file, it downloads this file in a new browser windows...? But it would be really useful to have such a feature as well, since there is a good chance that you want to restore/ permanently delete multiple files. Selecting all files individually can be a very tedious task.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to have a solution similar to the files app, i.e. select one file, hold SHIFT and then click on another file to select all files in between.

Describe alternatives you've considered None, since this works pretty well.

Just to be clear; is this request valid for v28?

[emoral435]

This works on v29 meant the latest version, are you requesting that we backport this feature? What version are you using?

[major-mayer]

Ah that's good to know. I'm currently on v 27.1 and if it's be possible, I would like to see the feature also there.

[emoral435]

Perfect! I will look into this, and incorporate it into v27 👍

[major-mayer]

Thank you so much :heart:

[emoral435]

Checking back here - on the newest, stable version of 27, it seems as if the deleted files section has the newest checkbox features, but main files app has the feature no longer there. Heres how it looks like for me: Can you confirm if this is how your version looks like?

[solracsf]

I can confirm multi-select working on Trash on v27.1.6, but not on Files 🤔

[emoral435]

I can assign myself to the issue if people want the feature added back!

[major-mayer]

I will probably switch to Nextcloud 28 quite soon anyway, but it would still be good if this feature is working, since 27 is a supported version (yet).

[emoral435]

True, will start working on it 👍
