g-h/files-browse: More content, mark candidate
"Browse files" is kind of broad, and I wanted to include more
than just how to open nautilus. I tried to outline some of the
basics of how you interact with Nautilus for navigation.

<title>Browse files and folders</title>
+<p>Use the <app>Files</app> application to browse the files in
+your home folder, on external devices, on
+<link xref="nautilus-connect">file servers</link>, and across
+your computer's file system.</p>
+
+<p>Browse files by selecting the <app>Files</app> application in the
+<gui>Activities</gui> overview. Or, search for folders and devices in
+the overview the same way you would <link xref="shell-apps-open">search
+for applications</link>. They will appear under the heading
+<gui>Places and Devices</gui>.</p>
+
+<p>In the file manager, double-click any folder to view its contents,
+and double-click any file to open it with the default application for
+that file. You can also right-click a folder to open it in a new tab
+or new window. In list view, you can also click the expander next to
+a folder to show its contents in a tree.</p>
+
+<p>The path bar above the list of files and folders shows you which
+folder you're viewing, including the parent folders up to your home
+directory, the root of a removable device, or the root of your file
+system. Click a parent folder in the path bar to go to that folder.
+Right-click any folder in the path bar to open it in a new tab or
+window, copy or move it, or access its properties.</p>
+
+<p>You can quickly access common places from the sidebar. If you do
+not see the sidebar, click <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Sidebar</gui>
+<gui>Show Sidebar</gui></guiseq>. You can add bookmarks to folders
+you use often, and they will appear in the sidebar.</p>

- You can open a folder in the <app>File Manager</app> by double-clicking on the folder.

- <p>
- To open your Home folder, Desktop, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos or tmp folders in the <app>File Manager</app>, simply search for the folder the same way you would <link xref="shell-apps-open">search for a program or application</link>.
- </p>
- <p>
- If you already have a <app> File Manager </app> open, you can right-click on one of these folders under the <gui> Places </gui> menu on the left. You can choose to <gui> Open </gui> the folder in the current window, <gui> Open in New Tab </gui> or <gui> Open in New Window </gui>.

-
+<p>If you frequently move files between nested folders, you might
+find it more useful to show a tree in the sidebar instead. Click
+<guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Sidebar</gui><gui>Tree</gui></guiseq>
+to enable the tree sidebar. Click the expander next to a folder to
+show its child folders in the tree, or click a folder to open it
+in the window.</p>
