Abstract
A file selection user interface (UI) includes a navigation area and a holding area. The navigation area enables a user to navigate between storage locations provided by the file hosting service. Visual representations of files stored by the file hosting service are displayed in the navigation area. The holding area provides a temporary storage area for files upon which one or more operations are to be performed. A user might provide input that causes visual representations of files shown in the navigation area to be added to the holding area. Once the desired files have been added to the holding area, the user may provide user input requesting that the file hosting service perform one or more operations on the files represented in the holding area. In response thereto, the file hosting service can cause the requested operations to be performed on the files represented in the holding area.
