The package provides two embeddable schema components that can be added to any Filament form. Use FileManagerEmbed for full CRUD operations with database-tracked files, or FileSystemEmbed for a read-only storage browser. Both components are fully customizable with options for height, disk, target directory, and initial folder.

Both embed components support fluent configuration for customizing their appearance:

All configuration methods support Closure values for dynamic configuration:
Fluent Configuration API
The plugin provides a fluent API for configuring all aspects of the file manager directly in your Panel Provider. This approach is preferred over config file settings as it keeps your panel configuration in one place.
Panel Sidebar
Add a folder tree sidebar to your Filament panel navigation:

Configure the database mode File Manager page:
File System Page Configuration
Configure the storage mode File System page (read-only):
Schema Example Page

Configuration Precedence
Configuration values follow this precedence (highest to lowest):

- Config file - Values from
config/filemanager.php - Defaults - Built-in default values
For sidebar labels, page-specific settings fall back to panel sidebar settings:
