User navigates to the Storage > Files surface, selects a bucket, and browses files. The journey covers file-list rendering (icons, sizes, timestamps), preview behavior (thumbnails vs. alt text), and metadata column choices specific to each profile's cognitive needs.

“Bring the team into the workflow.”

cognitive justification
HSP + Connector (A +0.571) → "shared by" metadata reframes file-list as a team artifact, not a storage dump. Activity blurb per file ("Aisha uploaded this") provides social context that softens file-management friction. Right-rail enables team-based filtering.

“Show me what I don't already know.”

cognitive justification
DYS GLUT-drain + HSP sensory-flood → thumbnails are visual encoding; alt-text labels reduce phonological load. Large preview size compensates for visual-processing lag. Zero motion respects HSP. Chunk-size 4 respects working-memory limits.
Analyst · Airplane

“Numbers first. Then we talk.”

cognitive justification
Analyst (A 0.000) + DA-seeking → monospace byte sizes feed analytical precision. Sparkline of upload velocity satisfies the reward loop. KeyboardHints enable fast navigation. Terse copy respects Sara's preference for minimal narrative overhead.
