How to use Drive

Drive stores your team's files and the documents you write in Docs. Organize them in folders, preview them without downloading, and share them with the people who need them.

First steps

Open Drive from the app launcher, or go to drive.coavon.com.
Drag files from your computer into the window to upload them, or use Upload.
Make folders to keep things in order, and star the files you use most.

Storing and organizing

My Drive: Everything you own. Folders inside folders, moved by dragging or from the menu on each file.

Upload anything: Store files of any type. Drag them into the window, or right-click for the New menu.
Recent and Starred: Files you opened lately, and the ones you starred to keep close.

Opening files

Previews: See images, PDFs and video in the browser without downloading them.
Markdown notes: Open a Markdown (.md) file to read it formatted, or edit it in place. It saves as you type. Only the file's owner can edit it.
Documents: Documents you write in Docs are saved in Drive and open in Docs.

Storage

Pooled storage: Every plan includes storage for each person, added together for the whole organization. Owners can buy more.
