Install Syncfusion® Blazor packages

Install Syncfusion.Blazor.FileManager and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes NuGet packages in your project using the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), or the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code (dotnet add package), or the .NET CLI.

Alternatively, run the following commands in the Package Manager Console to achieve the same.

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.FileManager -Version 33.2.3

NOTE

All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.

Add import namespaces

After the packages are installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.FileManager namespaces.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.FileManager

Register Syncfusion® Blazor service

Register the Syncfusion® Blazor service in the Program.cs file of your Blazor Server App.

....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references in the ~/Components/App.razor file.

<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/fluent2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
....
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Add Syncfusion® Blazor FileManager component

Add the Syncfusion® Blazor FileManager component in the ~/Components/Pages/Home.razor file. If the interactivity location is set to Per page/component, define a render mode at the top of the ~Pages/Home.razor file.

NOTE

If the Interactivity Location is set to Global, the render mode is automatically configured in the App.razor file by default.

@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveServer
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.FileManager

<SfFileManager TValue="FileManagerDirectoryContent">

    </FileManagerAjaxSettings>
</SfFileManager>
