# File Management

> A full cloud file explorer with S3/R2 storage, folder organization, and Google Drive sync.

## 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

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## 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](/integrations/google-drive) 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.
