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.
