1. What is Morningmate Drive?
Morningmate Drive is, simply put, a centralized space for storing and sharing files.
While the existing File Repository only collected files attached to project posts, Morningmate Drive is a standalone cloud storage space where you can upload files directly without creating a post and organize them into folders.
Your files, files shared with you, and attachments from collaboration spaces can all be viewed in one place, making it easy to keep track of your work materials.
Tip!
Files attached to project posts that you previously accessed through the File Repository can still be found in the Project File Repository menu in Morningmate Drive.
With Morningmate Drive, you can upload files directly without creating a post and organize them freely using folders.

2. Uploading and creating files
With Morningmate Drive, you can upload files directly or create new folders and documents without creating a separate post.

Select the files you want to upload from a folder on your PC, then drag and drop them onto the Morningmate Drive screen. The files will be uploaded immediately.
You can also select multiple files and upload them all at once.

Click the '+ Create new' button at the top of the left sidebar, then select 'Upload files'. You can then select the files you want to upload from your file explorer.

If a file cannot be uploaded, check that you have enough available storage space and that your network connection is working properly.
3) Creating a new folder
Click the '+ Create new' button, select 'New folder', enter a folder name, and click 'Create' to create a new folder.
You can organize your files by storing them in appropriate folders, making it easier to manage and find your work materials.
Tip!
Right-click a folder you created to rename it, manage its permissions, or move it to the Recycle bin (delete it).
3. Organizing files
You can create folders to organize your files based on specific criteria, add frequently used files to your favorites, and rename files when needed.
1) Move files to a folder
Drag and drop a file or image onto the desired folder to move it instantly.

Tip!
When you select multiple files and download them, they are bundled and downloaded as a single ZIP file (compressed file).
4. Searching and previewing files
Morningmate Drive provides powerful search capabilities that allow you to find not only file names but also content within documents. You can also preview files without downloading them.
1) Find files using search
Enter a keyword in the 'Search Drive' field at the top of the screen to search both file names and document content.
2) Narrow down results with type filters
If there are too many search results, use the 'Type' filter in the upper-right corner. You can filter results by file type, such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, images, videos, and compressed files, to find what you need more quickly.
3) Preview files
Double-click a file to open the preview screen. You can also use the left and right arrows to navigate between files.
Tip!
It may take some time for the content of a newly uploaded file to become searchable. File name searches are available immediately.
ZIP files are downloaded directly without a preview.
The following file formats can be previewed without installing additional software:
Office documents: Word, Excel, PowerPoint
Korean documents: HWP
PDF documents
Images: JPG, PNG, GIF
Text files: TXT
5. Sharing and managing permissions
You can share files stored in Morningmate Drive directly with team members or securely share them with external partners via a link. You can also set detailed access permissions for individual files and folders.
1) Share with team members
Click 'Share' on a file or folder, then select a department or individual from the organization chart to invite them. When sending an invitation, you can assign one of three permission levels: Viewer, Editor, or Owner.
You can either search for the desired team member and invite them directly or click 'Invite from organization chart' to select a department or individual.
2) Share via an external link
When you need to share a file with an external partner or collaborator, use the 'Create sharing link' feature. You can configure security options to keep your files protected.
Set password: Protect the link with a 4-digit password.
Set expiration date: Choose from 1, 7, 30, or 90 days.
Limit downloads: The link is automatically deactivated once the maximum number of downloads is reached.
Display watermark for viewers: A watermark showing the viewer's name is displayed when they view images or other files.
3) Learn about available permission levels
Permission | What you can do |
Owner | Full management permissions, including deleting files, changing permissions, and sharing externally |
Editor | View, download, rename, and move files |
Viewer | View and download files |
4) Change permissions
You can change the permissions of existing members from the file's 'Share' settings. Click the dropdown next to a permission level and select Viewer, Editor, or Owner.
Tip!
External sharing links can only be created after setting a password and expiration date, helping prevent unauthorized distribution.
Invited users cannot be assigned Owner permissions. The Owner is automatically assigned to the person who originally uploaded the file.
You can also invite entire departments, making it convenient to manage files for large teams.

Files and images deleted from Morningmate Drive are moved to 'Trash'. From the Trash, you can restore files or permanently delete them at any time.

Go to 'Trash' in the left sidebar to view deleted files. Right-click the file you want to restore or permanently delete, then select the appropriate option. You can also click the More (Ā·Ā·Ā·) button next to a deleted file to access these options.
Tip!
Files stored in the Trash are not automatically deleted. They remain safely stored until you permanently delete them.
ā ļø Files that have been permanently deleted cannot be restored. Please proceed with caution.
