When you use grid view, you can choose to have extra information about files and folders displayed in a caption under each icon. This is useful, for example, if you often need to see who owns a file or when it was last modified.

You can zoom in a folder by pressing the menu button in the sidebar of the window and selecting one of the buttons under Icon Size. As you zoom in, the file manager will display more and more information in captions. You can choose up to three things to show in captions. The first will be displayed at most zoom levels. The last will only be shown at very large sizes.

La información que se puede mostrar en las leyendas de los iconos es la misma que las columnas que pueden aparecer en la vista de lista. Consulte la Preferencias de las columnas en la lista de archivos para obtener más información.

When viewing files as a list, you can display Expandable Folders in List View. This shows expanders on each directory in the file list, so that the contents of several folders can be shown at once. This is useful if the folder structure is relevant, such as if your music files are organized with a folder per artist, and a subfolder per album.
