- PS5Upload Files: manage your files from the couch. A new PS5Upload Files tile on the
PS5 home screen opens a page in the PS5 browser that fills the TV. It has four sections:
Home (the running game with Close game, the tasks that are running with Cancel, and your
drives), Files, Cheats (switch the running game's cheats on and off) and Settings.
The PS5Upload helper must be loaded. If it isn't, the page tries to show a note that says so
(from a copy the PS5 browser keeps) and opens by itself once the helper answers. After an
update, a banner offers to reload. - Made for the controller. ✕ selects, ○ steps back, △ opens an item's actions, and the PS5's
own pointer works too. Every action also has a button on screen. Three short tips show the
first time, Help lists the buttons that work on the current screen, and Controls shows which
buttons your PS5 passes on to the page. Dark, Light, OLED and Peach themes, high contrast,
the language and full screen are in Settings. - Browse and organise. A path bar with Go to path, pinned and recent folders, and your
drives, with Eject for USB drives and Unmount for game images (refused while a game is
running). Sort, filter, show hidden files and select all. Copy, cut and paste, with Replace,
Keep both or Skip when a name is taken (and Apply to all); rename one item or many at once
with a pattern (a change of letter case alone works too); new folder; delete; Fix permissions. - Look inside files. Info with folder size; Verify (BLAKE3 and CRC32); Decompress a
.ffpfscback to its image, with progress. The viewer shows text (with find), JSON, a
summary of a game'sparam.json, hex, and pictures (step through a folder's images); a game
folder shows its banner. Search finds files by name in this folder or on all drives (the first
search builds an index), and Disk usage shows what takes the space. - Works with the app on your PC. File System shows the folders pinned on the console
("Pinned on console"), and Show on console opens a folder on the TV; Show on PC on the
console opens it in the PC app. Files being uploaded from your PC show an Uploading badge.
These need the 7.1.0 helper; with an older one the app simply doesn't show them. - Only the console can open it by default. Settings → Allow other devices lets a phone or
computer on your network open the page too. There is no password, so anyone on your network
can then manage your files; turn it off when you're done. While it's on, text boxes on the
console show a "Continue on your phone" code to type there instead. - The tile is yours to remove. Settings → Show PS5Upload Files on the home screen removes or
restores it. The tile is left out of the app's game list (an older engine or Docker image may
still list PSUP00001). - Big app databases no longer hide installed games. The console's app database was read
only up to its first 256 entries, and a long list could be cut shorter still, with nothing
saying so. On a console with many entries, a game installed by a homebrew installer (no
home-screen metadata folder) that sorted past that point was missing from Games. The app now
reads the whole database page by page. If the database still can't be read in full, games
whose folder and registration are on the console are listed anyway, and the app logs a warning
that the list may be incomplete (#473).
