Business apps

Drive and Office

Store, share and sync files, and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in the browser.

Bramble Drive is where your organisation's files live. Open it at /drive on your organisation's address.

#What you can do

  • Store files in your own space, and in libraries shared by a team.
  • Share a file or folder with people, groups, or anyone with a link. Links can have a password and an expiry date.
  • Go back in time with versions: earlier copies of a file are kept, and you can restore one.
  • Undo a delete from the bin.
  • Edit Office documents (Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus OpenDocument files) right in the browser, with nothing to install. The Docs, Sheets and Slides apps start new ones.
  • Sync a folder on your computer with Bramble Sync, so files are on your computer and in Drive at the same time.
  • Find files from the search box in the top bar, and pick up recent files from the Hub home page.

#How storage works

Your organisation has a storage pool that comes with its licences. Admins can see how it's used, and set limits per app or per person, in Admin Centre → Storage. Files in a Sites library count as Sites storage.

All files are encrypted when they're stored.

#Licence and settings

Licence Drive. Editing Office files is part of Drive.
Storage and Drive settings Admin Centre → Storage (Global Administrator or Storage & Drive Admin)
