Cozy Files doctype¶

`io.cozy.files`¶

The io.cozy.files doctype is used for both the files and directories.

Folder¶

For a folder, its attributes are:

type: {string} always directory
name: {string} the directory name
path: {string} the path to this directory, which is the path of its parent, then /, then its name
restore_path: {string} the restore path of the directory, if is in the trash
created_at: {timestamp} the date of the creation of this directory given by the client
updated_at: {timestamp} the date of the last update of this directory given by the client
tags: {array of strings} a list of tags

It also has a relationship with its parent in the JSON-API representation, and another called data with the files and directory inside it.

Files¶

The attributes of a file are:

type: {string} always file
name: {string} the file name
trashed: {bool} true if the file is in the trash
restore_path: {string} the restore path of the file, if is in the trash
md5sum: {string} the checksum of its content, computed with the MD5 algorithm
created_at: {date} the date of the creation of this file given by the client
updated_at: {date} the date of the last update of this file given by the client
tags: {array of strings} a list of tags. It is currently used to know if a file was uploaded through the mobile photo sync, with the value library.
size: {number} the size of its content, in bytes
executable: {bool} true is the file has the executable bit on UNIX (chmod +x)
class: {string} a class in the list: ['image', 'document', 'audio', 'video', 'text', 'binary', 'pdf', 'files', 'code', 'slide', 'spreadsheet', 'text', 'zip', 'shortcut']
mime: {string} the full mime-type
metadata: {map} an optional map of metadata (Full metadata description), with for example:
- width: {number}
- height: {number}
- description: {string}
- datetime: {date} : date in original image file metadata
- gps: {map} : localization metadata with the following attributes
  - lat: {float}: latitude
  - long: {float}: longitude
  - city: {string}: nearest city (optional)
  - zip: {string}: postal code of the nearest city (optional)
  - country: {string}: name of the associated country if any (optional)
- persons: {array}: the maps can have the following attributes (optional)
  - name: {string}: then name of the tagged person on the photo
  - created_at: {date}: date of creation of the tag
  - x: {float}: x coordinate in the photo where the person is
  - y: {float}: y coordinate in the photo where the person is
- icon: {string} : A small SVG file to use as icon for this file (optional)
- carbonCopy: {boolean} : if the document is the original document imported by the connector
- electronicSafe: {boolean} : if the document is secured in a secure storage

⚠ carbonCopy and electronicSafe both need specific permission to be added to a document.

It also has a relationship with its parent in the JSON-API representation.

For an image, there are 3 links to thumbnails: small, medium, and large. These thumbnail links are valid for 10 minutes. After that, links will return a 400 Bad Request response code.

Trash¶

When a file or a directory is put in the trash bin, some attributes are updated: - trashed is set to true, but only for files: directories never have this attribute. - The restore_path is set, for both files and directories. - ⚠️ The restore_path is not set on children. For instance, if a directory foo is trashed, it will have a restore_path but not the children. - The path is updated only for directories, starting with .cozy_trash

Here is how one could query files and directories not in the trash, through a mango query:

_id: { $ne: 'io.cozy.files.trash-dir' },
path: { $or: [{ $exists: false }, { $regex: '^(?!/.cozy_trash)' }] },
trashed: { $or: [{ $exists: false }, { $eq: false }] }

References¶

It’s possible to link a file or a folder to another document. It’s called a reference. It appears in the JSON-API representation as a refererenced_by relationship.

CozyMetadata¶

The io.cozy.files doctype has the standard cozyMetadata, but with some more fields:

createdOn: {string} the instance URL on which the file has created (useful if the file is shared between several cozy instances)
uploadedAt: {date} the server date/time of the last upload (when the content was changed)
uploadedOn: {string} the instance URL on which the file content was changed the last time
uploadedBy: {map} information on which app has made the last upload
- slug: {string} the slug of the application that has made the upload
- version: {string} the version number of this application
- oauthClient: {map} if the upload was made by an OAuth Client, information about it (id, name, and kind)

Shortcuts¶

Shortcuts (or hyperlinks) are a special type of files. They are served with the application/internet-shortcut mime-type, they have a .url extension, and respect the URL file format.

They can have metadata:

sharing.status will be set if the link can be used to open a sharing. 2 values are possible: new and seen, depending on whether the link has been opened.
icon {string?} contains the base64 encoded image or svg binary if mimetype is not present.
iconMimeType {string?} contains the mime-type of the icon.
description: {string} the description of the shortcut (optional)

An object target - target.cozyMetadata.instance is set to the cozy instance when relevant (mostly sharing and internal links) - target._type is the doctype of the destination of the link (when the link goes to a sharing or document inside a cozy) - target.mime is the mime-type of the destination of the link (when it is a file) - target.app is the slug of the destination app (internal links only). - target.title: {string} the title of the application where the shortcut redirects (optional) - target.category: {string} the category of the application where the shortcut redirects (optional)

Toutatice shortcuts¶

The Toutatice konnector creates specific shortcuts for applications on the Toutatice store. This metadata is used to organize the display in the Home and Store applications.

Generic data is stored in the target object with the following attributes: - title: {string} The title of the application to which the shortcut redirects - description: {string} A brief description of the application - category: {string} The category of the application (e.g., lien, info, triskell, perso). Each category corresponds to a sub-folder in the Home settings folder where the associated shortcuts are located.

Additional information is stored in the externalDataSource object to maintain the link with the Toutatice object: - source: {string} The space to which the application belongs - networkAccess: {string} The access rights granted to the application - hubMetadata: {object} Contains various metadata fields: - derniereSynchronisation: {string} Date of the last synchronization - etat: {string} Current status of the application - favori: {boolean} Indicates if the application is marked as a favorite - idInterne: {string} Internal ID of the application - premiereSynchronisation: {string} Date of the first synchronization

`io.cozy.files.versions`¶

The io.cozy.files.versions is used to track old versions of a file content, when files versioning is enabled. The attributes of a version are:

size: {number} the size of its content, in bytes
md5sum: {string} the checksum of its content, computed with the MD5 algorithm
updated_at: {date} the date of the last update of this file given by the client
tags: {array of strings} a list of tags
metadata: {map} an optional map of metadata.

It also has the same cozyMetadata that a file (including the uploaded* fields), and a relationship to the versioned file.

        "_type": "io.cozy.files"
      }
    }
  }
}

`io.cozy.files.settings`¶

This doctype is used to store settings for files. It is currenly only used for the qualification migration service.

lastProcessedFileDate: {string} the cozyMetadata.updatedAt date of the last processed file. It is used to know from where the query should be starting on an index sorted by date.
hideOOEditTooltip: {boolean} Is used to determine whether the tooltip of an Open Office file’s edit button should be displayed.

`io.cozy.files.encryption`¶

This doctype is used to store encryption keys for directories. The encryption keys are stored encrypted in the same way than bitwarden’s ciphers, and are used to encrypt/decrypt files’ binary inside the directory.

_id: {string} refers to its directory id: io.cozy.files/<dirID>
key: {string} the encrypted key, used to encrypt/decrypt files inside the directory.
