Getting Started with React UI Components using Next.js

Repository Description
This repository contains a sample Next.js application that demonstrates how to integrate and use the Syncfusion React File Manager component within a React environment powered by Next.js.

The sample focuses on configuring the File Manager component in a Next.js setup, allowing developers to manage and browse files through a web‑based UI built with React and Syncfusion components.
