Overview
Nextoria Hub’s file manager is a full-featured cloud storage explorer — not a simple upload widget. It supports hierarchical folders, bulk operations, access controls, and two-way Google Drive sync.
File Explorer
Access the file manager at Files in the main sidebar.
Folder Structure
Create a folder hierarchy that mirrors your project workflow:
Agency Files/
├── Clients/
│ ├── Acme Corp/
│ │ ├── Briefs/
│ │ ├── Deliverables/
│ │ └── Contracts/
│ └── Globex/
├── Templates/
│ ├── Proposal templates/
│ └── Invoice templates/
└── Internal/
├── Branding/
└── Playbooks/
Creating Folders
Click + New Folder in the top-right of the file explorer. Folders can be nested up to 10 levels deep.
Uploading Files
- Drag and drop files or folders into the explorer
- Click Upload to browse and select files
- Paste a URL to import a remote file directly
Supported file types: images (PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP), documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX), archives (ZIP), video (MP4, MOV), and all other file types as opaque downloads.
Storage Backend
Files are stored on Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 depending on your workspace region. Storage is included in all plans up to the following limits:
| Plan | Storage Included | Additional Storage |
|---|
| Starter | 50 GB | $0.02/GB/month |
| Growth | 250 GB | $0.015/GB/month |
| Scale | 2 TB | Custom |
Access Controls
Every folder and file can have independent access settings:
- Team Access — set which roles can view/edit the file or folder
- Client Shared — toggle to expose a file in the Client Portal
- Link Sharing — generate a public link with optional expiry and password
Files marked Client Shared are visible to all clients in that workspace’s
portal. To share with a specific client only, use the Project Files tab
within the project and assign access per-project.
Operations
Bulk Operations
Select multiple files/folders by holding Shift and clicking, then use the actions toolbar:
- Move to another folder
- Copy
- Download as ZIP
- Delete
- Change access settings
File Preview
Click any file to preview it inline without downloading:
- Images render in a full-screen lightbox
- PDFs render with page navigation
- Videos play inline with controls
- Code files render with syntax highlighting
Version History
Files maintain a full version history. Click History on any file to view previous versions, see who uploaded each, and restore an older version.
Google Drive Integration
See Google Drive Integration for full setup instructions.
Once connected, Google Drive folders appear in the file explorer as synced folders with a Drive icon. Changes made in Drive are reflected in Nextoria Hub within 60 seconds and vice versa.
