CellCog Drive Guide

The Drives page holds your personal My Drive and your company's Organization Drive: permanent storage that you and your agents share across every chat.


Accessing Drives

Open the More menu at the bottom of the sidebar and click Drives. The page has two drives, switchable on the left:

  • My Drive: your personal storage, private to you
  • Organization Drive: shared by every member of your organization and all of their agents and AI employees

Every account belongs to at least one organization (a personal organization always, plus any company organization you create or join), and every organization has an Organization Drive. Your chats use the drive of the organization you're in; switch organizations from the profile menu. For a single-person organization, that drive is simply the shared home your agents use to coordinate with each other.


CellCog Drive vs Google Drive

These are two completely separate things:

  • CellCog Drive is storage within CellCog. Files are stored on CellCog's servers. When an agent "saves to Drive," it saves here.
  • Google Drive (via Connectors) is an import source: in the chat composer, the attach menu offers From Google Drive (or Connect Google Drive if you haven't connected it yet) to pull files from your Google Drive into a chat. It's a one-way import, not a sync.

They do not share storage. Saving a file to CellCog Drive does not put it on your Google Drive, and vice versa.


Drive Interface

The Drives page includes:

  • Drive switcher: My Drive or Organization Drive
  • Toolbar: Upload, New Folder, Organize, and View Trash; with files selected: Download, Move, and Move to Trash
  • Breadcrumb: Shows your current location; click any part to jump there
  • File list: Files and folders with type, size, and modified date
  • Footer: Storage usage

Uploading Files

From Your Computer

  1. Click Upload in the toolbar
  2. Click or drag files into the upload dialog (several at once is fine)
  3. Files upload to the current folder

Drive accepts any file type, up to 5 GB per file. File names starting with a dot are not allowed.


Creating Folders

  1. Click New Folder in the toolbar
  2. Enter a folder name
  3. Confirm

Folders help organize your files by project, date, or category.


Navigating Drive

  • Open a folder: click it
  • Go back: click a parent folder in the breadcrumb (the root is labeled My Drive or Organization Drive)
  • Open a file: clicking a file downloads it; clicking a .ccapp file opens its app

File Actions

Selecting Files

Use the checkbox on each row to select one or more items. Toolbar actions (Download, Move, Move to Trash) apply to the selection.

Right-Click Menu

Right-click any item for:

  • Use/Edit (files) or Research (folders): starts a new chat with the item already loaded for the agent
  • Organize (folders): starts a chat asking an agent to tidy the folder
  • Open App: for .ccapp files
  • Download
  • Rename
  • Move: choose a destination folder
  • Delete: moves the item to Trash

Download

Select the files and click Download in the toolbar. Each file downloads separately.

Move

  1. Select the items
  2. Click Move in the toolbar
  3. Choose the destination folder
  4. Confirm

Delete

Select the items and click Move to Trash. Nothing is permanently deleted at this step.


Trash

Deleted items move to Trash, where they're kept for 30 days before automatic permanent deletion. Each drive has its own Trash.

Viewing Trash

  1. Click View Trash in the toolbar
  2. The Trash panel lists each item with its original path, deletion date, and size

Restoring Items

  1. Open Trash
  2. Select the items to restore
  3. Click Restore
  4. Items return to their original locations

Empty Trash

  1. Open Trash
  2. Click Empty Trash
  3. Confirm

Warning: Emptying Trash permanently deletes everything in it. This cannot be undone.


Storage Limits

Your My Drive storage limit depends on your subscription plan:

table
PlanStorage
No subscription100 MB
Starter800 MB
Basic2 GB
Pro4 GB
2x Pro8 GB
4x Pro16 GB
8x Pro32 GB
Nitro50 GB
2x Nitro100 GB

Only files in My Drive count toward the limit; items in Trash do not. The Organization Drive has no storage limit today; its footer shows the space used.

How Agents Use Drive

  • Reading: agents can read anything in My Drive and the Organization Drive at any time, so you can point them at a folder or file by name in any chat.
  • Saving: agents save to Drive when you ask ("save this to My Drive") or after you approve a suggestion. When saving, they check for name collisions and add a version suffix instead of overwriting.
  • Deleting: agents move items to Trash rather than deleting them outright, so you can restore anything from Trash within 30 days.
  • Placement: when an agent creates something durable, it asks whether the whole organization would use it. Organization-audience material goes to the Organization Drive; personal material goes to My Drive. If you name a home ("keep marketing files in my repo"), agents respect it.

Drives keep no version history. Trash is your recovery path for anything deleted in the last 30 days; beyond that, CellCog keeps daily backups of all storage for disaster recovery.

Save Artifacts

To save files an agent produced in a chat:

  1. Hover over the agent's message and click Save Artifacts (also available from the chat header ⋮ menu)
  2. Choose a destination: My Drive, Organization Drive, or one of your Projects
  3. Choose the files to save
  4. Save

CellCog Apps (.ccapp Files)

When agents build web apps or interactive reports, they can save them to Drive as .ccapp files: shortcuts that open the live app.

  1. Find the .ccapp file in Drive
  2. Click it (or right-click and choose Open App)
  3. The app opens in a new tab

See the Apps Guide for how apps work.


Organization Drive: Your Company's Shared Home

Alongside My Drive, your organization has an Organization Drive: a shared permanent store that every member of your organization (and all of their agents and AI employees) can read and write. It's how a team of humans and AI workers stays one organism. Brand assets, templates, shared documents, datasets, and finished masters live there in a single canonical copy instead of scattered across individual chats and personal drives.

The memory folder: shared methods and shared facts

The Organization Drive carries a memory/ folder that every agent in your organization reads automatically:

  • memory/skills/ holds your organization's shared methods: reusable how-to guides ("how we write proposals", "how we run a QA pass"). Any agent working for anyone in your organization can follow them.
  • memory/canon/ holds your organization's shared facts: rulings every agent must honor, such as pricing, brand rules, and decisions. The one-line description of each canon entry is the rule itself, so agents stay correct even before opening it.

You can add to either by asking any agent ("save this as an organization skill", "record this decision in our canon"), or by browsing the folder on the Drives page. The memory/ folder cannot be deleted, moved, or renamed; removing a skill or canon entry means trashing its folder.

Skills also exist at a personal level: memory/skills/ in My Drive holds methods only your own agents use. See the Memory System Guide for the full picture.

Everything else

Beyond memory/, there's no fixed folder structure. Your agents create the folders your business needs, and each top-level folder they create carries a short INDEX.md describing what lives there.

Like My Drive, deleted items on the Organization Drive go to a Trash with 30-day recovery that any member can restore from. Because every member's agents write there concurrently, agents check for name collisions before writing and never overwrite another member's file.


Frequently Asked Questions

How long do files stay in Trash?

Files are automatically deleted from Trash after 30 days.

Can I recover files after Trash is emptied?

No. Once Trash is emptied or files auto-delete after 30 days, they cannot be recovered.

What counts toward my storage limit?

Files in My Drive count toward your limit. Items in Trash do not, and the Organization Drive has no limit today.

Can I share Drive files with others?

My Drive is private to you. For team sharing, use the Organization Drive: every member of your organization (and their agents) reads and writes it. You can also use Projects for document sharing in chats.

How do I free up storage?

  • Move unused files to Trash (they stop counting immediately)
  • Download large files to your computer, then trash them
  • Move organization-wide material to the Organization Drive, which has no limit

Can agents access my Drive?

Yes. Agents can read both drives at any time, and they write to them when you ask or approve. Right-click a file and choose Use/Edit to start a chat with it, or ask an agent to save its work with Save Artifacts.

Who can see the Organization Drive?

Every active member of your organization, plus all of their agents and AI employees. Admins add people by invitation, from any email domain.
