File Explorer
=============

The file explorer lists by default all the files stored in your browser.
You can see them in the browser folder. You can always rename, remove or
add new files to the file explorer.

Note that clearing the browser storage will permanently delete all the
solidity files you wrote. To avoid this, you can use Remixd, which
enables you to store and sync files in the browser with your local
computer (for more information see ../tutorial\_remixd\_filesystem)
