- Preview text (up to
files.preview_limit_kb, 256 KB) and images under 20 MB. - Edit files in place (under 5 MB), delete, rename, create folders, change permissions and copy paths.
- Conflicts offer a keep both choice.

How transfers work
Folders stream as tar, single files as cat, and large files as resumable dd chunks (files.chunk_size_mb, 4 MB) named *.kubyl-part. SHA-256 verification on both sides is on by default (files.verify), with files.concurrency_per_pod (2) parallel transfers.
