*Describe the solution you'd like
An enhanced file manager within the app environment that simplifies asset handling and directly supports the app-building process. Specifically, the improved file manager should:
- Clearly show the assets folder in the project structure for easy access.
- Enable drag-and-drop or direct upload of multimedia files via the UI (images, audio, video, etc.).
- Allow users to browse and manage uploaded assets through multiple view options: Gallery, Icons, and List, depending on preference or need.
- Provide an intuitive reference path or auto-complete mechanism so users can easily insert asset references into components, code, or stylesheets.
- Support basic file operations (rename, delete, replace, preview) and possibly metadata (e.g., size, type, date added).
- Support basic folder operations: create, rename, replace, copy and delete a folder.

Additional context
This feature would support a broad range of user types—from developers to designers to low-code creators—and would improve usability across all stages of app development. It would also:
- Align with expectations from modern visual development tools.
- Accelerate prototyping by simplifying how users interact with visual and media assets.
- Reduce user error and tech support burden related to file path management or missing assets, especially connected to the AI upload itself.
- Make the platform more accessible for creators building design-heavy or multimedia-rich apps.
