Direct messages

Find messages, files and links

Search a conversation and browse the files and links shared in it.

  • The details dialog shows files, links and members separately.
  • In the files view, you can preview files and download the ones you pick.
  • Search inside a conversation can take you to the matching message.

Direct conversations use the optional chats app. Your server needs to install it and turn on rooms. Search across all message text isn't available. File type filters only apply to the parts of a conversation that have loaded.

Add a conversation to your favorites, mute it, or open its shared files, links and members.
Each conversation has a set list of members. Only those people get its messages.
Search one conversation for a word and see the messages that match.
