Drive opens into the workspace file library. The main page shows the current folder path, folders, files, and file pagination.

## Open Drive

1. Open the Console at `app.plato.ae`.
2. Confirm the correct workspace in the top-left workspace selector.
3. Go to `Overview`.
4. Open `Drive`.

After Drive opens, the sidebar shows the Drive app. `Home` is the active area for the current Drive experience.

## Browse Folders

Use the folder navigation bar near the top of Drive to understand where you are.

Click a folder card to open it. The folder list and file list update to show only the contents of that folder.

Use the breadcrumb path to move back up to a parent folder or the Drive root.

## Create A Folder

1. Click `Upload`.
2. Choose `Create Folder`.
3. Add a folder name.
4. Add an optional description.
5. Click `Create Folder`.

Folders are created inside the folder you are currently viewing. To create a top-level folder, return to the Drive root first.

## Organize Files Clearly

Use folders when files belong to a real workflow or audience.

Good examples:

* Menu photos.
* Brand assets.
* Receipt logos.
* Social icons.
* Customer attachments.
* Documents for templates.

Avoid making too many shallow folders with similar names. A short, predictable structure is easier for teammates to use from the Drive picker.

## Empty Drive

If Drive shows `No media`, the current folder has no folders or files yet. Upload a file or create a folder to start organizing the library.
