Drive contains the documents and files in your workspace: docs, databases, spreadsheets, canvases, PDFs, images, videos, code files, and uploads.
Attachments shared in channels are imported to Drive. Email attachments are extracted to Drive, but they stay out of the list until you filter for them. Choose Filter → Files → Email attachments. Default, which Drive uses until you change it, hides them. Everything in Drive is searchable from unified search.
Collaborative markdown documents.
Spreadsheets with formulas, charts, and Excel import and export.
Whiteboards for diagrams and sketches.
Reusable text inserted by typing ;.
Records in tables, boards, and timelines.
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. Files → Default hides email attachments. Choose Email attachments to list them. Sort sorts by modified, created, or viewed date.
Folders
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. Press C, then F to create a folder. With an item selected in a list, press M to move it to a folder.
Folders use the same owner, editor, commenter, and viewer permissions as other files. Folders with open notifications appear in Home.
Creating and uploading
Click New in the Drive sidebar to create a document, database, 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. Database stays on the New menu for My Files, Recent, Shared with me, and the folders overview. A database is not placed in a folder.
Drag files from your computer onto a folder to upload them.
