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
- Open Drive and select Create Drive.
- Type a Name and, if you like, a Description.
- Check the Owners and the Members.
- 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.
- 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.
| Choice | What it does |
|---|---|
| Upload Files | Adds files from your device to the place you have open. |
| Upload Folders | Adds a folder from your device with everything in it. |
| Create Folder | Adds an empty folder there. |
| Create Drive | Starts 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.
