The New menu left Upload out wherever no drive was open: on All Drives, and in a drive nothing on this device had read yet. Upload is the reason most people open that menu, so it read as broken, and nothing said why or what to do next.

What changes

Upload File(s) and Upload Folder are now always in New, and always lead somewhere.

Where you press it What happens
Inside an open drive Unchanged: straight to the picker
All Drives, one drive Opens that drive, then the upload dialog
All Drives, several drives "Upload to which drive?", last-used first, then the drive and the dialog
All Drives, no drives "Create a drive first" with New Drive; the upload carries on in the new drive
A drive nothing has read The drive syncs, and the page reports it
A drive a sync is reading "This drive is syncing. Try again once it finishes."

The dialog names the drive, says whether it is Public or Private, and opens the picker. That is all it does.

A drive nothing has read is synced, and the page reports that sync the way it reports every other one: the drive's own card, and the progress in the top bar. No dialog reports it as well; that second report made the reader watch a sync they only wanted as a means to an upload.

An upload never outlives a sync. It waits only for the second or two a drive takes to open:

  • Choosing a drive a sync is still reading says so, and opens the drive with nothing waiting.
  • Any waiting upload expires after ten seconds. Held longer, its dialog would land minutes later on whatever the reader had moved on to, or on a later visit to that drive.

One sync at a time, still, and no queue. Pressing Upload while another drive syncs says so and starts nothing. A refresh of the drive list is not a sync here: a drive opens during one, and its own Sync card may run, so an upload may too.

Choosing a never-synced drive from Upload opens it and starts its sync. That is the behaviour asked for, and the chooser marks such drives "Never synced". It is the one path where picking a drive syncs it; clicking a drive in the nav still never does.

The New menu keeps one shape, and every press answers

Inside a drive, New Folder, New Note and New File Pin are offered whatever state the drive is in, and each press acts, says why it cannot, or is greyed:

The drive in view Folder actions Upload
Open Act Picker
Nothing has read it Start its sync Starts its sync
A sync is reading it Say it is syncing Says it is syncing
Opening, for a second Greyed Waits for it to open
Its sync found nothing on chain Greyed Greyed
Somebody else's Greyed Greyed

Upload is also greyed in the moment before the drive list is known, when there is nowhere yet for it to lead.

Grouped by what each action acts on:

  • Into this folder: Upload File(s), Upload Folder, New Folder, New Note, New File Pin.
  • Drives: New Drive and Attach Drive.
  • Advanced: only what needs the drive's contents. It is absent with no drive open.

Attach Drive moves out of Advanced. The plus menu no longer lists Import from Manifest twice for a public drive.

Consistency fixes found on the way

  • The drive view's nav is built on the Your Drives rail's grid. Headings and drives are the rail's own DriveNavRow. Headings start where All drives does, rather than 43px further in, and drive names start where their heading's words do. The open drive is lit the way the rail lights where you are. Headings keep folding, and screen readers are told whether a section is open. Clicking the drive you are in returns to its root in every group; it used to do that only in Public.
  • The Sync control on Your Drives had no hover, no press and no hand cursor. It now takes the outline button's own tokens.
  • The drive view's table headings sat under 28px and over 25; Your Drives uses 14 and 6. They now match. The explorer is the only screen that uses this table. Commit d54905b3b says the move, hide and licence dialogs and others "tighten with it"; that is wrong, as none of them use it.
  • The upload dialogs scroll rather than overflow on a narrow phone at large text sizes, where the buttons could fall off the screen.

Why it is shaped this way

  • A dialog even with one drive. A browser opens a file picker only in direct response to a click, so a click is needed after the drive opens anyway. On permanent storage it is also the right moment to show where files will land, and whether that is public.
  • The drive opens first. promptToUpload starts from the explorer's own DriveDetailCubit, which the drives list does not have. The request waits on the router, and the explorer takes it once the drive reports in, the same road requestDriveInfo takes.
  • Nothing in the upload changes. promptToUpload and everything after it are untouched, for files and for folders. This is menu, routing and one dialog.
  • Sync rules hold. Clicking a drive never starts a sync. A menu action on an unread drive calls the same syncCurrentDrive as the drive's own card.

What it touches

  • lib/upload_entry/: the new feature.
    • domain/ holds the pure decisions: where Upload leads, which drives to offer, and driveWait, what an action should do about the drive it needs.
    • presentation/ holds the dialogs, startUpload and readDriveForMenuAction.
  • new_button.dart: one set of upload and folder items shared by both menus, and the grouping.
  • app_router_delegate.dart: the waiting request and its ten-second limit.
  • side_bar.dart, drive_scope_rail.dart, drives_sync_menu.dart, data_table.dart: the consistency fixes above.
  • app_en.arb: seven new strings. Other languages fall back to English until translated.

Testing

  • The full suite is 2,255 passing, and flutter analyze is clean.
  • Checked by breaking them: 13 behaviours from the review round. Each was broken on purpose and a test failed, rather than failing to compile.
  • Layouts: the dialogs are tested at 320px, at twice the text size and in the dark theme. The sidebar's alignment is asserted in pixels against All drives.
  • Independent review: a second agent tried to break both this PR and PE-9205: Click to select, double-click to open #2233, and found the defects fixed here.

Not covered by tests

The explorer's listener handing a waiting request to the dialog. The request's life on the router is tested, and the listener was verified by reading it. Worth a pass on the preview build:

  1. All Drives → New → Upload File(s). With one drive you land in it with the dialog; with several you choose first.
  2. A drive that has never been synced → New → Upload, or New Folder. The sync starts, the page reports it, and no dialog appears. While it runs, New's items say the drive is syncing. When it finishes, the same action goes straight through.
  3. A wallet with no drives → Upload → New Drive. The dialog appears in the new drive.
  4. The drive view's sidebar next to Your Drives' rail: same indent, same icons and words, and the open drive lit the same way.
  5. The Sync control's hover on Your Drives, and the table headings' spacing in a drive.

The New menu left Upload out wherever no drive was open: on All Drives, and
in a drive nothing on this device had read. Upload is the reason most people
open that menu, so it read as broken, and nothing said why or what to do.

Upload File(s) and Upload Folder are now always offered, and lead to the
drive the files will go to:

- Inside an open drive, nothing changes: straight to the picker.
- With one drive, it opens that drive.
- With several, a short list asks which, the drive used last first.
- With none, a short explanation offers New Drive, and the upload carries on
  in the drive once it exists.
- In the drive, one dialog names it and whether it is public or private, and
  offers the next step for its state: Choose Files when it is ready, Sync
  This Drive when nothing has read it, progress while it syncs, and Check
  Again after a sync that found nothing. While another drive syncs, the sync
  button is held with a reason, since only one sync runs and nothing queues.

Why a dialog even with one drive: a browser opens a file picker only in
direct response to a click, so a click is needed after the drive opens
anyway. On permanent storage it is also the right moment to show where the
files will land.

Why the drive opens first: `promptToUpload` starts from the explorer's own
cubit, which the drives list does not have. The request waits on the router
and the explorer takes it when the drive reports loaded or unsynced, the road
`requestDriveInfo` already takes. `promptToUpload` and everything after it are
unchanged, for files and for folders.

The dialog reuses the drive card's sync, `syncCurrentDrive`, and its
"Nothing Found Yet" and "Check Again" wording, so both places say the same
thing. Opening a drive still never starts a sync.

Verification: 88 tests across the new feature, the menu and the
router, and the full suite (2,223 passing), green; `flutter analyze lib test`
clean. Fourteen behaviours checked by reverting the code and confirming a
test fails. A fifteenth, that a held button does nothing, is not
the dialog's to prove: `ArDriveButtonNew` drops presses while disabled, and
the test that taps the held Sync button exercises exactly that.

Not covered by tests: the explorer's listener handing the request to the
dialog. The request's life on the router is tested; the listener that reads
it is verified by reading it and needs a pass on the preview build.

From CodeRabbit's review of #2232 (Major). Each drive row in "Upload to which
drive?" was a bare GestureDetector: no focus, no Enter or Space, and no
button semantics. Choosing a drive is how an upload started away from any
drive continues, so finishing one needed a mouse.

The rows are now an InkWell inside button semantics, on a transparent
Material, with the menus' hover colour kept for hover and used for focus as
well, so a focused row is as visible as a hovered one.

Two tests: Tab then Enter chooses the first drive and closes the list, and
each row is announced as a focusable button with a tap action. Reverting to
the bare GestureDetector fails them.

Pressing Upload on a drive nothing had read opened a dialog that offered the
sync and then reported it: progress, phases, the lot. The page already tells
that story - the drive's own card, the progress in the top bar - so this was
a second report over the top of the first, and it made the reader watch a
sync they only wanted as a means to an upload.

Now the press starts the sync and nothing else. The page reports it, as it
reports every other sync.

The upload does not survive that sync either. A sync takes minutes, the
reader goes and does something else, and a dialog arriving afterwards would
be reaching back for an action they have left behind. They come back to a
drive that opens, press Upload, and go straight to the picker. The only wait
an upload sits through now is the second or two a drive takes to open, which
is what carries an upload from the drive chooser into its drive.

What is left of the dialog is the step a browser forces: a picker opens only
in direct response to a click, so arriving in a drive cannot open one. That
click is worth something - it names the drive and whether it is public,
which on permanent storage is the choice nobody can take back - and it is
all the dialog does now.

One sync at a time still, and still no queue: pressing Upload while another
drive syncs says so rather than starting anything.

Verification: 92 tests and the full suite (2,219 passing) green,
`flutter analyze lib test` clean. Fifteen behaviours checked by reverting
the code and confirming an assertion fails.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Public, private and shared mean the same three things in both navs. The
drives list draws them with a globe, a lock and the swap arrows; the drive
view drew them as three plain words, so the same grouping read as two
different ideas depending on which screen somebody was on.

The icons come from `DriveScopeRail.iconFor` rather than being picked again,
so the two cannot drift apart, and the test asserts through that same lookup.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The drive view shouted PUBLIC DRIVES, PRIVATE DRIVES and SHARED DRIVES; the
drives list wrote the same three groups as Public Drives, Private Drives and
Shared Drives, from the same strings. One grouping read as two ideas
depending on which screen somebody was on.

Both say it the way the strings are written now. The heading still reads as a
heading through its weight, its icon and the accordion's chevron, which is
what the shouting was doing before, and title case is what translators wrote
and what a screen reader can say without spelling it out.

The test reads the label through `DriveScopeRail.labelFor`, the lookup the
drives list itself uses, so the two cannot drift apart again.

Upload was offered in a drive nothing had read; New Folder, New Note and New
File Pin were not. So the menu grew three items once a sync finished, around
a word the reader never sees: "synced" is the app's language, not theirs, and
a menu that changes shape on it reads as an unpredictable one.

All four are offered now, and any of them on an unread drive does the same
thing Upload does: starts the drive's sync, which the page reports. The
action is not remembered, so nothing arrives later over something else.

Reading the drive first is also what stops a second folder of the same name
being made, because that check reads local rows. `showPinFileDialog` needs
the loaded drive for the same reason `promptToUpload` does - it reads the
state straight off the cubit - so this is the only way those items can be
offered at all.

Two lines held on purpose:

- Advanced stays gated on a drive that has been read. A snapshot needs
  contents and a manifest needs a public drive, so offering them before
  looking would claim something the app cannot back.
- On the drives list none of the three appear: there is no folder for them to
  go into, and Upload is the exception because it carries its own chooser.

The rule they share is now named for what it decides - `driveWait`, not
`uploadWait` - since uploading is no longer its only caller.

Verification: 86 targeted tests and the full suite (2,221 passing) green,
`flutter analyze lib test` clean.

The menu read: uploads, rule, New Drive, folder, note, pin, rule, Advanced.
New Drive sat in the middle of the things that go into the folder you are
looking at, which is how a menu comes to read as a list of whatever was added
last.

It now reads as two groups and a submenu: everything that goes into this
folder, then the drives themselves, then the advanced things that need to
know what is in the drive.

Attaching a drive moves out of Advanced into the drives group, where it
belongs. That also removes the special case underneath it: Advanced held
nothing else with no drive open, so the menu had to flatten the submenu to
avoid a row that opened onto a single action. Advanced now holds only what
needs the drive's contents, which means it is simply empty, and absent, until
a drive is open.

Verification: 267 tests across the menu, the upload entry and the
drives list, `flutter analyze lib test` clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The drive view's table put 28 pixels above its column headings and 25 beneath
them; the drives list puts 14 above and 6 beneath. The same table on two
screens a reader moves between, one noticeably airier than the other, and the
gap under the headings was four times the other's.

Both now use the drives list's spacing. That table is shared, so the move
dialog, the hide dialog, the licence form, the shared-file view and the
download modal tighten with it.

Verification: 267 tests across the drives list, the explorer's callers and
the menu, `flutter analyze lib test` clean.

…PE-9205

A reader who has asked for larger text, on a narrow phone, got a dialog taller
than the screen: the modal's own column overflowed, and what goes off the
bottom is the row of buttons. Choosing a drive, or choosing files, was
unreachable on the layout that needs it most.

The modal already knows how to bound itself to the viewport and scroll, so all
three dialogs ask it to. The drive chooser also drops the fixed height it gave
its own list, since one scroll is better than two nested ones.

Tests now pump each dialog at 320 by 640, at twice the text size, and in the
dark theme. The text-scale case is what caught this.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…-9205

The Sync control at the top of Your Drives is drawn to look like an outlined
button, but it is a plain container on purpose: `ArDriveDropdown` opens on a
tap that reaches it, and a real button swallows that tap. Being inert also
left it with none of a button's states. No fill under a pointer, no border
change, no press, not even the hand cursor, so it read as a label.

It now takes the outline variant's own tokens, the ones `ArDriveButtonNew`
uses for `ButtonVariant.outline`: transparent at rest with a `strokeMid`
border, `buttonOutlineHover` under a pointer, `buttonOutlinePress` while
pressed, and the border stepping up to `strokeHigh`. Watching the pointer
takes nothing from the gesture the menu opens on.

The resting border moves from `strokeHigh` to `strokeMid` to match. In the
light theme the two are within a shade of each other; in the dark theme it
is a touch quieter at rest, which is what makes the hover read.

Tests compare against the theme's tokens rather than hex values. Four of the
five fail against the old control; the fifth, that a click still opens the
menu, passes on both and is there to stop a fix that breaks it.

An independent review found two ways an upload could outlive a sync, which is
exactly what this change set out to stop.

- Choosing a drive a full sync is still walking. The explorer waits out that
  sync before it reports anything, so the upload request sat on the router
  until the sync ended, and then the dialog appeared, minutes after the press.
- A request that never reached its drive stayed set. Leaving for All Drives
  and coming back to that drive later would have fired it on a visit that had
  nothing to do with it.

Now:

- Choosing a drive a sync is reading says so, "This drive is syncing. Try
  again once it finishes.", and opens the drive with nothing waiting.
- Any waiting upload expires after `uploadWaitLimit`, ten seconds: longer
  than a drive takes to open, shorter than any sync.
- `DriveWait` gains `syncing`, for a drive a sync is reading right now. It
  used to fall into `forget`, which dropped the press in silence. It is
  still dropped, since one sync at a time and no queue, but it is said.

The review also found the menu breaking the promise of the last change. While
the drive in view was opening or syncing, New Folder, New Note and New File
Pin disappeared, and Upload stayed lit but did nothing when pressed.

Every press now acts, says why it cannot, or is greyed:

- While a sync reads the drive in view, the folder actions stay, and
  pressing one says the drive is syncing. So does Upload.
- In the second or two a drive takes to open, they stay, greyed. Upload
  waits for the opening, as it always has.
- A drive whose sync found nothing on chain greys Upload and the folder
  actions. Its card already says so and offers to look again; there is no
  folder to put anything in yet.
- Upload is greyed in the moment before the drive list is known, when there
  is nowhere yet for it to lead. It used to write a log line and nothing
  else.

Two smaller fixes:

- New File Pin is no longer greyed by an empty balance. That rule came in
  with this branch by accident; dev never had it.
- The plus menu listed Import from Manifest twice for a public drive: at the
  top, and again under Advanced. It is only under Advanced now, as in the
  sidebar menu.

Every rule has a test that fails when the rule is broken.

The two navs looked like two products. In the drive view the whole list of
drives sat 43px in, so Public Drives started an icon and a gap to the right
of All drives above it. The drive names then lined up under the headings'
icons rather than their words. On Your Drives the rail sits flush, on
`DriveNavRow`.

The drive view now uses `DriveNavRow` too:

- **Headings** are rail rows with a chevron: the same icon, the same words
  from `DriveScopeRail.labelFor`, at the same indent as All drives. They
  fold and unfold as before, and tell a screen reader which they are.
- **Drives** are rail rows without an icon, keeping its width, so a name
  starts where its heading's words do. They are a little tighter, so a long
  list of drives takes less room. The open drive is lit the way the rail
  lights where the reader is: `containerL2`, bold. It used to be a different
  fill, `containerL1`, although the rail's own comment claimed they matched.
- **No indents of their own:** the 43px indent, and the 4px the phone
  drawer added, are both gone.

`DriveNavRow` gains a trailing slot (the chevron, or a drive's hidden and
alert marks), a quieter colour for hidden drives, a dense height, button and
selected semantics, and an expanded state.

Found on the way: clicking the drive you are already in took you back to its
root only in the Public group. Private and Shared did nothing. All three now
share one handler.

⚠️ Action not completed

Review rate limited.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

Reading the drive list is a sync's first phase, `SyncLoadingDrives`. A run
over other drives, in that phase, does not touch the drive in view, so
`driveWait` answered "sync it", and `syncCurrentDrive` would have started a
second sync beside the first: `startSyncForDrive` refuses only during
`SyncInProgress`. One sync at a time holds again, and the press says another
drive is syncing.

Found by CodeRabbit, whose thread marked it addressed by an earlier commit
that did not touch this line. The new test fails against the old check.

`startSyncForDrive` itself has the same gap for the drive's own Sync card.
That is sync code, left alone here and noted as a follow-up.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Correlate the upload with the drive created by this flow.

DrivesCubit.driveSelections is a broadcast stream that receives every explicit selectDrive call. _createDriveForUpload subscribes before promptToCreateDrive and uses the first event as the upload target.

DriveAttachCubit can emit a selection from an unawaited task after its attach dialog closes. During the asynchronous drives-list update, decideUploadStart can still return UploadNeedsDrive. That selection can therefore arrive while the create-drive dialog is pending. The subscription then requests the upload for the attached drive and ignores the newly created drive's later selection.

Return the created drive ID from promptToCreateDrive, or pass it through a completion callback from DriveCreateCubit, and request the upload with that ID. Do not use the global selection stream as the create-drive completion signal.

Move the context.mounted guard before the first context read.

UploadDestinationDialog.onSelect runs after the dialog is popped. The dialog uses showGeneralDialog on the root navigator. AppRouterDelegate retains the Navigator and its constant MaterialPage key while replacing the shell child during logout or navigation. This can unmount the shell subtree that supplied the captured context while the dialog callback remains active.

The callback can then reach context.read<SyncCubit>() with an unmounted context. The lookup can throw before the existing guard runs. The single-drive branch calls _openForUpload directly and does not create this delayed callback path.

   BuildContext context,
   AppRouterDelegate router,

`SyncLoadingDrives` is not a sync's first phase, as the last commit assumed.
It comes from `syncMetadataOnly`, a refresh of the drives table, and the app
treats it as holding nothing:

- `waitCurrentSync` counts it as finished, so that opening a folder never
  hangs behind it.
- The drive's own Sync card may start a sync while it runs.

The upload code treated it as a sync walking every drive, because it asked
`SyncCubit.syncTouchesDrive`, which counts it for a different reason: a
drive's row may be rewritten. So during a refresh, which runs for seconds at
every login when sync-on-login is off, and longer with private drives:

- Choosing a drive for an upload said "This drive is syncing" and dropped the
  upload, while the drive opened normally a moment later.
- An upload waiting for a drive to open was dropped the same way.
- New Folder on a drive nothing had read said it was syncing, where the
  card beside it would have synced it.

`syncHoldsDrive` is now the one rule the upload code asks: a sync that is
running and walking this drive. The last commit's `SyncLoadingDrives` busy
check is undone, along with its test, which asserted the wrong thing. In
their place, tests that a refresh neither holds a drive while it opens nor
stops it being read; each fails against the old rule.
