Files/Folders
A file is an object that stores data, information, settings, or commands used with a computer program. Files are stored in folders.
One can create many team folders for their projects or tasks to store and collaborate on their team's files and folders.
A WorkDrive user can create native files (Document, Spreadsheet, or Presentation) within the WorkDrive account or upload files and folders from the user's desktop, external storage devices, or other cloud resources.
Note:
Only Admins, Organizers, and Editors can add files or folders in a team folder.
