File browser or manager
@pmrowla and I discussed that it would be helpful to be able to see the structure of your data and repo inside Studio. This could look similar to dvc ls but in a nice UI. Some benefits:
- Enable anyone to easily get acclimated with a project
- Introducing DVC cloud storage without asking users to look through the raw cloud files
- Showing what's stored by DVC, including directories down to the the individual file level
- Combining Git-tracked files and DVC-tracked files in one view
Some related features that would be nice to have:
- Get URL for any file.
- Download any data.
- Diff between commits (could be at the file level like
dvc diff, at least as a starting point).

Rather than a separate interface, it would be nice to have these available inside the experiments table for each data column. The URL is already available, although it is not that helpful for a directory since it only links to the .dir file. Would be nice to see the files for that directory, compare those across commits, and download the whole directory as a zip archive or similar.
Thanks for the feature request, Dave. From my experience with VS Code DVC tracked tree - I think we need to clarify the user story here. It's not clear now what do we actually expect tbh (that's why it's hard even to tell - should it be within a table, or like GH/DagsHub interface, etc)
Makes sense @shcheklein. A "file browser" might not have that much value, but I'll try to think about whether some of the features here would be valuable additions to teams' data versioning workflows.
