If you have developer mode enabled - just open the terminal and use "mv" command to rename your files. On the other hand I suppose you are not using developer mode, so use your file manager of choice. Download "Cargo-dock" from store - it has "rename" function.

Actually, I am using developer mode, but it seems obvious to me that renaming/moving/copying a file is such a fundamental feature that it must be supported in the default GUI.

Thanks for the Cargo-dock tip, though! I overlooked it since the name did not indicate anything to do with files.

You can rename files with Filetug. It's available at least in openrepos: https://openrepos.net/content/matoking/filetug

As workarround you can use an alternative file browser from Yandex store, for example "ES File Explorer"

For user files: Connect the Jolla to your PC (via USB) and use the file browser of your PC.

A bit of an overkill, don't you think? =:o)

@Venty: Depends on the number of files.(Using some app from OpenRepos is similar overkill, and even that you have to use a third party app or developer mode is overkill for a basic file operation – so I don't understand the downvoting.)

You could even use something like mobaXterm which is an Xserver/ssh/sftp-program. Works very well. If you log in it automatically displays the filemanager-window (sftp/ftp) alongside the terminal. Very convenient.

This works great over wifi (don't forget to prolong screen-saver time otherwise it'll loose connection though).
