Manage files

Prev Next

Document360 Drive is your central media library for storing and managing all files used across your knowledge base. From uploading and organising to tagging, replacing, and removing files, Drive gives you full control over your media assets in one place.


  1. Click the Drive icon in the left navigation bar of the Knowledge Base Portal.

  2. In the left navigation pane, browse or select the folder containing the files you want to manage.

  3. Use the search bar at the top to find files by name, or use the Filter option to narrow results by type, upload date, uploader, tags, or dependency status.


Switching Between List View and Grid View

Drive supports two view modes. Click the List/Grid view icon in the top right corner of the Drive page to switch between them.

List View

List view is the default. It displays files in a table with the following columns:

Column

Description

Name

The file name

Dependencies

The number of articles, pages, or content reuse elements referencing the file

Size

The file size

Updated on

The date the file was last modified

Updated by

The user who last modified the file

Tags

Tags associated with the file

You can adjust the width of each column by dragging the column borders.

To access file actions in list view, click the More (⋯) icon next to the file name.

Grid View

Grid view displays files as thumbnails — useful for visually browsing image files.

To access file actions in grid view:

  • Hover over a file and click the More (⋯) icon to access all actions for that file.

  • Hover over a file and select its checkbox to select it. Once one or more files are selected, bulk actions — Move, Copy, Add tags, Download, and Remove — appear in the top menu bar.

NOTE

Column information — name, dependencies, size, updated on, updated by, and tags — is only visible in list view. Grid view shows thumbnails only.

Best practices

  • Use list view for bulk management — The column layout makes it easier to scan dependencies, file sizes, and upload dates when auditing or cleaning up Drive.

  • Use grid view for visual browsing — Switch to grid view when you need to identify images by appearance rather than filename.

  • Search before uploading — Use the search bar to check whether a file already exists in Drive before uploading a duplicate.

  • Tag files at upload — Adding tags when a file is first uploaded saves time later and keeps Drive searchable from day one.

  • Check dependencies before removing — Always verify a file's dependency count before deleting it to avoid breaking articles or pages that reference it.
