Store files in Drive

Create a drive, add folders, upload files and folders, replace a file with a new version, and download or rename what you stored.

Drive keeps your team's files in Tridge, in folders, beside the work they belong to. Each drive is a separate container with its own members.

Create a drive

  1. Open Drive and select Create Drive.
  2. Type a Name and, if you like, a Description.
  3. Check the Owners and the Members.
  4. Decide who can see it. Turn on Make private so that only members can see the drive. Turn on Auto join to add new employees to it automatically.
  5. Select Create.

The drive appears in the navigator. Drives, at the top of the navigator, lists every drive.

Add folders and files

Open a drive, or a folder inside it, then use the button at the top of the navigator. The button itself uploads files; its menu has the other choices.

ChoiceWhat it does
Upload FilesAdds files from your device to the place you have open.
Upload FoldersAdds a folder from your device with everything in it.
Create FolderAdds an empty folder there.
Create DriveStarts a new drive.

Folders can hold folders. The navigator shows them as a tree under their drive.

Work with a file

Select a file to open it. From there you can:

  • Download it to your device.
  • Upload a new version. The file keeps its place in Drive, and the earlier versions stay listed under File versions.
  • Restore an earlier version from that list.
  • Rename it. Folders can be renamed the same way.

To move a file or a folder, right-click it and select Move. Delete is in the same menu.

Who can do what

A drive's owners decide its members. A drive can also turn on Role-based access control; its roles then decide who may create, update or remove files and folders. If an action is missing for you, ask an owner of the drive.

Find a file

Press Ctrl+K (⌘+K on macOS) and type part of a file or folder name. See Search and run commands.

Good to know

  • Files are listed without thumbnails. See What is not available.
  • Deleting asks you to confirm first. There is no undo.
