Description
We have to think of the section headings and each option underneath them as a single sentence, thus avoiding repetition and unnecessary length.
Currently, we have :
-
Upload from device
- Upload files
- Upload folders
-
Create new
- Add folder description
- New folder
- Create new templates folder
- New diagram
- New document
- New presentation
- New spreadsheet
- New text file
- Create file request
- New PDF form
I suggest clearer and lighter formulations:
-
Upload from device
- files
- folders
-
Create new
- folder description
- folder
- templates folder
- diagram
- document
- presentation
- spreadsheet
- text file
- file request
- PDF form

Search the server repository for the current new-file creation dropdown labels shown in the issue, then inspect the surrounding UI entry point. Done means the headings and options use the proposed shorter wording without changing the available actions; verify the dropdown visually.
