Files

Files is your drive. Upload files, create folders, preview files, and download them. The files you see depend on the access rules of each folder.

Open a folder

Open the module switcher at the top left and choose Files. Then choose My drive.
Select a folder in the list to open it.
Select a name in the breadcrumb to go back up.

Upload files

Select Upload and choose files. You can also drag files onto the list, or onto a folder.
The upload list shows the progress of each file.
Keep the browser tab open until the uploads finish. Uploads stop if you leave the Files screen.
If an upload fails, select Retry on that file.
If a file with the same name already exists, choose Keep both or Replace as new version.

If you reach the storage limit, uploads are refused and SRVO shows a message.

Create a folder

Select New folder.
Enter a name and confirm.

Work with files and folders

Open the Actions menu for an item to open, rename, move, copy, download, or move it to Trash.

Select Move to… to choose a new folder.
Select Copy, open another folder, and select Paste.
To work on several items, select them. A bar appears with actions for the selected items, such as move, copy, or trash.

Find files

Search this page filters the items on the page you are viewing. It does not search the whole drive yet.
Select Sort by to sort by Name, Modified, Type, or Size.
Switch between List and Grid.

Preview and details

Select an item and open the details panel. The panel shows file information and the Versions list.

Images and PDF files show a preview. Other file types show No preview. Select Download to open them.

Versions

Select a file and open Versions in the details panel.
Select Restore on an older version. It becomes the current version.

Use Share to choose who can open a file or folder. You can add people with Can view, Can comment, Can edit, or Full access. You can also create a link. A link can have an expiry date and a password of at least 8 characters, and you can turn off downloads.

Sharing is part of the new folder system. See Workspace and sharing.

Trash

Select Trash in the sidebar.
Select Restore to put an item back where it was.
Select Delete forever to remove an item for good, or Empty Trash to remove everything in it.

If the original folder is no longer writable, SRVO asks if you want to restore the item to My drive as private. Restoring it this way removes its existing shares and links.

In the cloud, items stay in Trash for 30 days.

Access

You see only the folders you can open. If you cannot open a folder, SRVO shows You don’t have access to this folder. Ask the folder owner to share it with you.
In a folder you can only view, you cannot upload or create folders.
Guests see only the files shared with them.

Demo limits

In the demo, files are deleted at the next reset. Each file can be up to 25 MB, and the demo has 1 GB in total.
