Describe the bug
Enhancement recommendation*
From a user experience aspect, the below image (welcome information) would be good as a landing page for the app rather than seeing it after clicking onto a menu option.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the Files page
  2. View the Information that's displayed on the initial page

Expected behavior
This information is really useful and is lost once you upload a file. If this information was the landing page for the app then it wouldn't be lost and would be in a more useful position

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Hi @davenes8148 -- this is great feedback. Thanks!

Right now that material appears if the user doesn't have any files uploaded (as you noticed), but you're right: It's more general information than files-specific info, and would be a lot more useful as welcome/introductory content, either at first launch or as help tour content.

Slotting this into our queue of UX examples for further prioritization and concept work. If anyone's reading who would be interested in contributing, this is more than welcome!

As an additional note, ipfs/ipfs-gui#33 provides wider context on an introductory summary screen; let's consider the discussion/work done there so far.

Let's also roll the suggestion from #1406 into this effort: incorporating some kind of prominent link to Awesome IPFS as an example of cool things new users can be inspired by.

Update: I'll chip away at this one -- would be great to get some starter explanatory content into the version of Web UI/Desktop that ships with pinning service integration.
