+File Actions Menu
+=================
+
+FileActionsMenu is a simple API for registering entry to the file actions menu for ExApps.
+AppEcosystemV2 takes responsibility to register FileActionsMenu, ExApps needs only to register it in AppEcosystemV2.
+
+.. note::
+
+	FileActionsMenu rendered only for enabled ExApps.

+			"etag": "file_etag",
+			"mime": "file_full_mime",
