Uploading Files

You can upload files to Zark Drive through the interface using either drag-and-drop or the file picker. Multiple files can be uploaded at once, and supported formats are processed automatically based on file type.
The main interface provides three primary upload options: Upload Files to Cloud, Upload Folder to Cloud, and Create a Folder. Once files are uploaded, you can immediately ask ZarkAI questions about them using the query interface.
The upload interface provides three options:
  • Upload Files to Cloud - Select individual files to upload
  • Upload Folder to Cloud - Upload entire folders and their contents
  • Create a Folder - Organize files into folders before uploading
After selecting files, they appear in the interface where you can review your selection. You can then ask ZarkAI questions about the uploaded files directly from the upload interface.
When using the file picker, you can navigate through your file system to select files from any location, including cloud storage services like Creative Cloud Files, iCloud Drive, or local directories. The file picker supports selecting multiple files at once.
After upload:
  • Files are indexed for search
  • Content is analyzed when applicable
  • Files become available for AI interaction
Upload progress is shown in real time, and files are immediately available for search and AI queries once processing completes.

File Operations

OperationDescription
Renaming FilesFiles can be renamed at any time. Changes take effect immediately and do not affect file content or history.
Moving FilesFiles can be moved between folders to keep projects organized. Moving a file does not affect its processing state or metadata.
Deleting FilesDeleted files are moved to Trash, where they remain recoverable for 30 days.

​
File Organization

Folders help structure files by project, client, or workflow. You can:
  • Create and rename folders
  • Move files between folders
  • Delete folders (files are moved to Trash)
Folder structure does not affect how AI analyzes files—it only impacts organization. You can organize files however makes sense for your workflow without worrying about AI functionality.

​
File Views and Sorting

Zark Drive provides multiple ways to view and sort files: Views
  • Grid view – visual browsing (useful for images and media)
  • List view – detailed metadata view
Sorting Options
  • Name (A–Z / Z–A)
  • Date uploaded
  • File size
  • File type
Sorting does not affect file processing or search behavior. You can sort files however you prefer without impacting AI analysis or search functionality.
