Hi Leo,

The original intent of providing a files web part is to allow users to interact with the server's file system. If you'd like to develop against a FilesWebPart I'd recommend looking at the LABKEY.FilesWebPartPanel which is the class that backs the rendered 'Files' LABKEY.WebPart. However, note that the LABKEY.FilesWebPartPanel is not a part of the Client API and is subject to change/deprecation/removal.

I can point you to an example usage of this in one of our custom modules if you'd find that helpful.

Thanks,
Nick
