What do I see in the Received section of FileGrant?
The Received section shows only files shared with you by others: sender, size, tags and access type.
The Received section contains only files that other users have shared with you. Your own uploaded files are not shown here, nor are files you've shared with others. This section is exclusively for what has been sent to you.

Refreshing the list
There's a Refresh button in the top right of the Received section. Click it to reload the page and see any new files that have been shared with you.
💡 Tip: Check the icon next to the file name: a yellow eye means Read-Only (view only), a green pencil means Editor (you can also edit it).
