Every Space includes cloud storage where your files live, get processed, and become searchable. When you upload a file, Zark doesn’t just store it — it analyzes the content, indexes it for search, and makes it available for AI interaction.

​
Storage Architecture

Each Space comes with 50 GB of cloud storage. Files are stored securely and isolated per workspace — your files are never visible to other users unless you explicitly share your Space.

​
What Happens When You Upload

When a file is uploaded to your Space:
1

File type detection

Zark identifies the file format and determines how to process it
2

Content extraction

Text, structure, and metadata are extracted based on file type — OCR for scanned documents, transcription for audio/video, parsing for data files
3

Indexing

Content is indexed for semantic search — searchable by meaning, not just filenames
4

AI readiness

The file becomes available for AI interaction — summarization, questions, analysis
Processing happens automatically. Most documents and images complete within seconds. Large data files and media take longer.
