What you can do in Gaveta

Choose a task and open the steps. Illustrations are schematic; the appearance may vary with your theme.

Everything in its place

Folders, search and favourites help you find what matters.

View the steps: Everything in its place
  1. Choose Create folder. Inside a folder, create a subfolder or choose the root. The new folder opens automatically.
  2. Use each item’s menu to rename, move or view details. The search at the top helps you find files.
  3. Mark favourite folders and check Recent items. Switch between list and grid, sort items and adjust results per page.

Upload files and folders

Track your uploads, including larger files.

View the steps: Upload files and folders
  1. Open the destination folder and choose Upload files or Upload folder. You can also drag files into the listing.
  2. Follow the upload queue. When a name already exists, choose to replace it or keep a numbered copy.
  3. Chunked uploads can be paused and resumed. If you close the page, select the same file again in the same folder and browser within 24 hours.

Share with control

A file, a folder or a selection through a single link.

View the steps: Share with control
  1. Choose Create share, use an item’s menu or Share selection after selecting several items. You can name the share.
  2. Set its duration and, if needed, a password or authorised email addresses. The initial duration is 30 days; authorised recipients confirm an email code.
  3. For folders, review automatic inclusion of new items. In My shares, view accesses, renew or cancel a link. The password is not included in the creation email.

Browse photos, video and audio

Multimedia brings your photos, videos and music together.

View the steps: Browse photos, video and audio
  1. Open Multimedia in the sidebar. Filter by content type or folder, including subfolders.
  2. Open a compatible item to preview it. In the normal listing, Thumbnails shows or hides images.
  3. Playback depends on formats and codecs supported by your browser. If a preview is unavailable, download the file.

Restore recycled items

Review items before permanently deleting them.

View the steps: Restore recycled items
  1. Open the recycle bin and select items to restore. Use their original folder or choose another destination.
  2. Conflicting names and unavailable destinations remain in the recycle bin without overwriting files. Review the result.
  3. Review the cleanup policy in Site options. Emptying the recycle bin or permanently deleting items cannot be undone through the application.

Understand your storage

See how space is used and what needs attention.

View the steps: Understand your storage
  1. Click the storage indicator or open Storage in your account menu. Your account total can include items outside the current folder.
  2. If files without records are found, review the list and choose the folder in which to recover them.
  3. For records without files, review the analysis before confirming synchronisation. Removing records does not recreate missing files.

More tools at your fingertips

Compress and extract

Use the file menu to create an archive or extract its contents into a folder. Deleting originals removes them permanently after checking the archive: select this option only when intended.

Personalise your experience

Site options lets you show or hide Favourites, Recent items and Multimedia, manage sharing and pagination. Use the appearance selector to choose a theme.

Review activity

Account history shows recorded activity such as uploads, downloads and shares. Download counters reflect transfers started, not confirmation of completion.

Frequently asked questions

A menu option is missing.

Check Site options: some features may be disabled. Disabling sharing makes existing links unavailable; enabling it restores links that are still valid. Expiry dates continue to run.

Why do storage totals differ?

The listing total refers to the displayed collection. Your account indicator covers overall storage, including the recycle bin. Storage provides a more detailed analysis.

Compression reports “File unavailable”. What next?

Open Storage and review synchronisation. Do not confirm cleanup without reviewing missing items. If the issue persists, contact support with the file name and message.
