Drive

Drive contains the documents and files in your workspace: docs, spreadsheets, canvases, PDFs, images, videos, code files, and uploads.

To go to Drive use shortcut g + f.

Attachments shared in channels are imported to Drive. Email attachments are extracted to Drive. Everything in Drive is searchable from unified search.

​

Tabs

• My Files: files you own
• Recent: files you opened or edited, most recent first
• Shared with me: files shared with you

Search Drive searches the current tab or folder. Filter filters by type, tag, or creator, and switches to Email attachments. Sort sorts by modified, created, or viewed date.

​

Folders

To create a folder use shortcut c + f. To move a selected item to a folder, press m.

The Drive sidebar shows the folder tree. Click a folder to open it. Click the arrow next to a folder to expand it. The folder creation dialog accepts a name, tags, and files or folders to upload.

​

Creating and uploading

Click New in the Drive sidebar to create a document, spreadsheet, canvas, folder, or other file. Inside a folder, the menu reads Create in followed by the folder name, and new files are created in that folder. Drag files from your computer onto a folder to upload them.

​

Opening files

Click a file to open it. Press shift+enter to open it in a new split. The file menu has Duplicate, Rename, Move to folder, Download, and Delete.

​

Sharing

Folders have owner, editor, commenter, and viewer access. On a team, the Share dialog includes Team access, which sets view, comment, or edit access for the whole team. Folders with open notifications appear on Home.
