Demo overview​

The file manager demo lets you work with files of any size. You can integrate the demo into your project and modify it as you need.

The file manager demo uses the DHTMLX Optimus framework and organizes its components into Views. You can initialize, modify, or remove each component separately. You can also use the whole demo as a View and add it to another app as a component.

There are no specific backend requirements. The demo is based on the REST API, and you can use any backend platform that supports it, such as PHP, Node.js, .NET, or Java.
