See [What's on the web only](#whats-on-the-web-only). ## Install and sign in Download from the App Store. Download from Google Play. Open the app and sign in the same way you do on the web: **Continue with Apple** (iOS only), **Continue with Google**, **Continue with Microsoft** or **Continue with Email**. New to The Drive AI? Tap **Don't have an account? Sign Up**. ## Find your way around * **Your files** fill the main screen. At the top level, the title is your workspace's name: tap it to switch workspaces. * **The sidebar** opens from the button at the top left. It has your **Account**, **Subscription**, **Usage**, **Members** (team workspaces), **Workflows**, **Integrations**, **Agent**, **Approvals**, **Notifications** and **Appearance**, plus **Send feedback**. * **The agent** is one swipe away. Swipe left from your files, or tap the message bar at the bottom. ## Browse and manage files * **Open a folder or file:** tap it. Tap the back arrow to go up, or tap the folder's name at the top to jump anywhere on its path. * **View and sort:** tap the **•••** button at the top. Choose **List** or **Grid**, and sort by **Name**, **Recent**, **Date Created** or **Size**. Folders always come first. * **Search:** tap the search button. Search looks through file and folder names across the whole workspace, not just the folder you're in. * **Refresh:** pull down on the list. Press and hold a file or folder for its menu: | Item | What it does | | - | - | | **Ask the assistant** | Opens the agent, pointed at this file or folder. | | **Select** | Starts selecting, so you can act on several items. | | **Rename** | Gives it a new name. | | **Download** | Saves it to your phone. A folder downloads as a zip. | | **Export to cloud** | Copies it to a connected Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint or Dropbox account. | | **Print** | Prints a file. | | **Delete** | Moves it to the Trash. | With several items selected, use **Download**, **Export** or **Delete** in the bar at the bottom, and **Done** to stop selecting. **Rename** and **Delete** only appear for owners, admins and members. To move, copy or create folders on your phone, ask the agent, for example "Move these receipts into /Expenses/2025." When you open a file, tap **Share** at the top to send a copy or open it in another app through your phone's share sheet. This sends a copy of the file. To give someone access in The Drive AI, [share it on the web](/features/file-sharing). ## Upload files Go to the folder you want the files in. Tap the **+** button at the bottom right. Your phone's file picker opens. Choose one or more files. They upload to the folder you have open. * **On the Free plan**, the picker only offers documents: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, CSV and Markdown files. Images, audio and video need Premium or above. * **Limits** on files per upload, uploads per hour and files per workspace are the same as on the web. See [Uploading files](/features/uploading-files#limits). * **To add files from a connected drive**, tap **•••** and choose **Import from cloud**. * Owners, admins and members see **+**. Viewers don't. ## Scan documents Tap the scan button, just above **+**, to scan paper documents into a PDF in the folder you have open. You can also scan straight into an agent chat. See [Document scanning](/features/document-scanning). ## The agent on your phone The agent on your phone is the same one as on the web, with the same limits and permissions. See [The agent](/agent/overview). ### Start a conversation Swipe left from your files, or tap the message bar. The first time, the app asks you to agree to your messages and files being processed by AI providers. Tap **Agree & Continue**. Like on the web, the agent works on the folder you were in. A chip above the message box shows it. To point the agent at one file or folder, press and hold it in your files and choose **Ask the assistant**. Type your request, or press and hold the microphone (**Hold to speak**) to dictate it. * **Conversations:** tap the conversations button at the top of the chat to see past ones, or the new conversation button to start again. * **Attach files:** tap **+** next to the message box and choose **Scan**, **Photos** or **Files**. You can attach up to 10 files to a message, each up to 25 MB. Attachments stay with the conversation and aren't saved to a folder unless you ask. ### Cards: approving, undoing and getting files The agent's cards work as they do on the web. See [Approving and undoing](/agent/approving-and-undoing). * **A proposed change** shows what will happen. Tap **Apply** (it shows the number of changes) to make the change, or **Not now** to skip it. A large change asks you to tap again to confirm. After it's applied, tap **Undo** to reverse it, or **See what changed** for the full list. * **A request for permission**, for example to share a file or run a long task, has **Allow** and **Not now**. * **A file the agent makes** shows a preview. Tap it to open it, use the share button to send it or save it to your phone, or tap **Save to a folder**. For several files, use **Share all** or **Save all to a folder**. * **A chart or diagram** can be tapped to interact with it, opened full screen, shared, or saved to a folder. See [Charts and diagrams](/agent/charts-and-diagrams). ### Build workflows Ask the agent to build a [workflow](/workflows/building-with-the-agent), for example "When an invoice arrives by email, save it to /Invoices by vendor." It shows a **Workflow draft** card: * **View** opens the workflow's steps, read-only. * **Save** saves it and switches it on, after you confirm. It starts running on new files straight away. Saving changes to an existing workflow keeps it on or off as it was. * **Adjust on the web** opens it in the web app's editor, where you can change the steps. Only owners and admins can create and change workflows. ## Workflows and approvals Open the sidebar and tap **Workflows**: * **Workflows** lists your workspace's workflows. Tap one to see its steps. To change it, tap **Ask to change** and tell the agent what should be different, or tap **Edit on web**. * **Activity** shows what your workflows have done, file by file. * **Build a workflow** opens the agent so you can describe a new one. Owners and admins only. When a workflow is waiting for someone to approve a step, it appears in **Approvals**. Tap **Approve** or **Reject**. See [Approvals and activity](/workflows/approvals-and-activity). ## Notifications Open the sidebar, tap **Notifications**, then tap the alert settings button to choose what reaches your lock screen: * **Turn on notifications** appears while your phone isn't allowing them. Tap it to allow them. * **Assistant:** **Everything** (approvals, questions and finished tasks), **Only when it needs me** (approvals and questions), or **Off**. * **Also buzz for:** **Workspace activity** (mentions, invitations, approvals and requests) and **Product news**. * **Email me about:** **Missed activity** (twice a day, what you didn't see) and **Product news**. These email settings apply to your account on every device. Emails that unblock a workflow, like an approval request, are always sent. Everything still appears in the **Notifications** list, whatever you choose. See [Notifications](/account/notifications). ## Settings on your phone * **Agent** shows the same settings as **Settings** > **Agent** on the web. Anyone can see **What it can reach** and add or remove their own notes under **What it remembers**. Owners and admins can also change how the agent behaves, its limits and approvals, and whether it saves the files it makes. Adding shared drives is done on the web. See [Agent settings](/agent/settings) and [Memory and instructions](/agent/memory-and-instructions). * **Usage** shows **Storage**, **Assistant tasks this month** and **Files organized this month**. See [Usage and limits](/account/usage-and-limits). * **Subscription** shows your plan. You can buy a plan for your personal workspace in the app, through the App Store or Google Play. A team workspace's plan is shown here and changed on the web. * **Integrations** lists the accounts connected to the workspace, on plans that include them. * **Members** lists the people in a team workspace. Owners, admins and members can see it. ## What's on the web only These need the web app: * [Sharing files and publishing public links](/features/file-sharing) * The [Trash](/features/versions-and-trash#trash): restoring and permanently deleting * The **Shared** list of items others shared with you * Creating folders and notes, moving and copying in the file browser (on your phone, ask the agent) * [File requests](/features/file-requests) and placing fields on a [signature request](/features/e-sign) * Editing a workflow's steps * Inviting people and changing roles * Adding shared drives for the agent, and browsing connected drives * Billing for team workspaces ## What's next?
