- Tap the Menu Button or the Open App button provided by the bot.
- The Mini App will load directly inside Telegram!
Features of the Mini App
📂 File Explorer
- Browse Directories: Navigate through folders in your configured file systems.
- File Details: View file size, last modified date, and current file version.
- Media Preview & Streaming: Preview images or stream videos directly without leaving Telegram.
🔄 Mirrors & Replication Status
Tap on the Mirrors and replication icon in the header bar to inspect the background health of your files:
- Queue Depth: See how many files are currently waiting to be mirrored to secondary Telegram or Discord channels.
- Retry Failed Items: If a temporary network issue caused a background replication to fail, tap Retry failed to immediately attempt copy operations again.
- Backfill: Trigger a full scan to ensure every single file has complete copies across all your configured channels.
- Local Cache Management: View current local cache usage and tap Drop unpinned entries if you need to free up disk space on your server.
⚙️ Background Tasks
- Track ongoing uploads, video processing, or backfill tasks in real-time.
- View clear progress percentages and status messages.
Importing Pre-existing Files on Telegram
If you already have files uploaded to a Telegram channel before setting up TGDCFS, you can import them into your file system using the Mini App:
- Copy the Telegram message link or ID of the file in your channel.
- Open the Mini App and go to the target directory.
- Use the Import feature to add the file directly into your TGDCFS virtual file system without downloading and re-uploading the data!
