Make a drive

What it is

A drive is a shared place for one project's files. It appears in Finder under the name you give it, with the colour you pick. Only the Owner and Admins make drives.

How to

  1. Press New drive in the left rail, or New drive on the Team page. (Right after setup, Make a drive does the same.)
  2. Name your drive. Use the project's name. Everyone on your team sees it, and it is the name in Finder too.
  3. Pick its colour. It becomes the drive's icon in Finder on every device.
  4. Who can open it. Choose Everyone on your team, or Only people you add. With Only people you add, you can pick people now and give them a level. Owners and Admins can always open it. Change this any time on the drive's Access.
  5. Check the summary. You can still change the name, colour and who can open it. Then press Create drive.
  6. Wait for "<name> is made".

If something goes wrong

  • "Only the Owner and Admins make drives." Ask one of them to make it, or to make you an Admin.
  • "<Team> already has a drive called <name>." Pick another name.
  • Offline. FIIP DRIVE waits for the internet and creates the drive when it returns. Press Stop waiting to cancel. Nothing is created twice.
  • It didn't go through. Nothing changed. Press Try again.
