Getting started

Create an account, sign in, accept invitations, and find the main Filestor workspace areas.

What Filestor does

Filestor is a web workspace for browsing, previewing, searching, sharing, and publishing files from storage you control. After you sign in, Filestor opens Home, where most day-to-day work starts.

First session

  • New users can create an account from Sign Up.
  • Returning users can open Log In.
  • If your workspace uses invitations, accept the invite from your email and Filestor will place you in the right workspace.

Main areas

  • Home picks up where you left off: the notes, files and folders you opened recently in this browser, quick ways to create a note or board or upload files, your storage volumes, and, for owners and admins, recent activity.
  • Explorer is the file manager: pick a volume or folder under Files in the sidebar to open it.
  • Notes is for Markdown writing and publishing: your vaults are under Notes in the sidebar, and the pages you have published are under Published.
  • Settings holds everything else, each section in its own page. You see only the sections your role can use.
  • The sidebar reaches all of these. Search at its top, or Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac), opens the search palette; the workspace name above it switches to another workspace you belong to. Your name at its bottom opens the account menu, where you choose a theme or log out; owners and admins also find Invite members just above it.

Settings

  • Account manages your profile and personal security, including API tokens.
  • Organization manages members and permissions.
  • Storage is where admins connect roots and agents.
  • Publishing holds your publishing handle, site template, custom domain and published pages.
  • Billing manages plan state and transactions, and stays open while a subscription needs attention.
  • Audit log lists workspace activity for owners and admins.
  • Admin appears only for platform administrators.
