Start with a folder

Drive is the file library in your AppStruct workspace. Use it for uploaded files and folders, then use Docs, Sheets, or Slides when you want to edit those kinds of work directly.

1. 1Open Drive in the workspace navigation.
2. 2Choose New → New folder and enter a useful name, such as Website launch.
3. 3Open the folder and use Upload, or drag files into the library.
4. 4Follow the upload tray until the upload finishes. Check the file appears before leaving the page.

The New menu also includes Document, Spreadsheet, and Presentation. These are entry points to the corresponding workspace tools; uploading a file and creating an editable workspace item are different tasks.

Find the right file

Use Search files and folders to narrow the library. Sort by Name, Last modified, or Size, and switch between list and grid views to suit the job. List view is useful when comparing file details; grid view is helpful when recognizing visual files.

View	Use it when
My Drive	You want to browse your folders and files.
Recent	You need something you worked with recently.
Starred	You want to return to a file you marked as important.
Shared with me	You are looking for a shared item.
Trash	You need to recover something you removed.

Select a file to see the available actions, or open its context menu. You can rename it, move it to another folder, make a copy, download it, or move it to Trash. You can also drag items into a folder. Use the details panel when you need more information about a file rather than opening it.

Recover a file or an earlier version

Removing an item from the main library moves it to Trash. Open Trash, select the item, and choose Restore to put it back. Permanently deleting an item or emptying Trash is a separate action.

For a file with stored versions, open Version history, inspect the available versions, and choose the version you want to restore. Keep a downloaded copy when you need an independent record outside AppStruct.

Know where your files are saved

The Drive status describes whether your files have reached your account:

• All changes saved means Drive has synchronized with your account.
• Syncing… means changes are still being sent.
• Offline — saved locally means the server could not be reached; your work is retained on this device for retry.
• Saved on this device means cloud Drive is not available in the current session.

Click the status to retry or refresh. Before changing devices or clearing browser data, wait for All changes saved or download the files you need.

tip

For collaboration on an editable document, spreadsheet, or presentation, use Share inside that tool. Its access controls apply to the editable item.
