Drive Overview

Copera Drive is your workspace's central file storage system. It gives every team member a secure place to upload, organize, and collaborate on files without leaving the platform. Whether you need to store project documents, share design assets, or collaboratively edit spreadsheets, Drive keeps everything accessible in one location.

Key Sections​

Drive is organized into four main sections, accessible from the left sidebar:

  • My Drive -- The default view that shows all files and folders you own. This is where your uploaded content and created folders live. You can navigate into nested folders, sort by name or date, and quickly find what you need.
  • Shared with me -- Displays files and folders that other workspace members have explicitly shared with you. Items here may be view-only or editable depending on the permissions the owner granted.
  • Starred -- A filtered view that shows only items you have marked as favorites. Starring a file or folder gives you quick access to frequently used content regardless of where it sits in your folder hierarchy.
  • Trash -- Contains files and folders you have deleted. Trashed items are retained for 30 days before automatic permanent deletion. You can restore items from the Trash or permanently delete them sooner if needed.

Storage Pool​

Every Copera workspace shares a single storage pool that any member can draw from. The pool grows with your paid seats:

  • 20 GB free base — every workspace, regardless of plan.
  • +100 GB per Pro seat — pooled for the whole workspace.
  • +500 GB per Max seat — pooled for the whole workspace.

Copera does not impose file-size limits, so you can upload large videos, design files, and archives without hitting an arbitrary per-file cap. If you need more space than your pool provides, storage overage is billed flat at $0.25/GB (or $0.50/GB for workspaces with 100+ users) on any plan. The cheapest way to grow your pool is to add more paid seats — every Pro seat adds 100 GB and every Max seat adds 500 GB to the shared pool.

You can check your current pool usage from the Drive interface. See Storage Management for how to monitor and free up space.

OnlyOffice Integration​

Drive integrates with OnlyOffice to provide in-browser editing of Microsoft Office documents. You can open .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx files directly within Copera and edit them in real time with your teammates -- no desktop software required. Changes are saved automatically back to Drive.

File Preview​

Many file types can be previewed directly inside Drive without downloading. Supported preview types include images, PDFs, videos, audio files, and code files. Simply click on a file to open the preview panel.

Getting Started​

To begin using Drive, navigate to the Drive section in the left sidebar of your workspace. From there you can create your first folder, upload files, and start sharing content with your team. The following pages in this section cover each capability in detail.
