The Drime web app is organised in three areas: a narrow rail on the left, a side panel next to it, and the main area with a top bar.

## The rail

The narrow column on the far left switches between the main areas:

| Item | What you find there |
| --- | --- |
| **Home** | Your files: see [the Home panel](#home-panel). |
| **Folders** | Your folder tree. |
| **Vault** | Your end-to-end encrypted Vault. |
| **Backups** | The computers you back up with Drime Desktop. |
| **Tools** | Sign, Send & Track, Pages, Requests and Whiteboards. Each tool can be pinned to the rail with **Pin this item**. |
| **Affiliates** | Opens **Invite friends** in your settings: see [Earn free storage by inviting friends](https://drime.cloud/support/plans-and-billing/earn-free-storage). |
| **Help** (lifebuoy icon, at the bottom) | Support and resources: see [the Help menu](#help). |

## The Home panel

| Item | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| **All Files** | Everything in your Drive. |
| **Shared** | Items shared with you or by you. See [Find files shared with you](https://drime.cloud/support/sharing-and-collaboration/files-shared-with-you). |

| **Quick access** | Files and folders you pinned. See [Organise with Starred, tags, colours and Quick access](https://drime.cloud/support/drive/starred-tags-and-quick-access). |

Below, the storage meter shows the space you use, and the workspace switcher lets you move between your personal space and your workspaces.

## The top bar

- **Search files and folders**: see [Find files with search](https://drime.cloud/support/drive/find-files-with-search).
- **Invite members**, to invite people to your workspace.
- The **?** icon, for help, and the bell, for your notifications.
- Your avatar, which opens your account menu.

Above the file list, **Upload**, **Create** and **Create folder** add content to the folder you are in.

## The details panel

Select a file or folder to see its details in the panel on the right. Its **Details** tab shows **Who has access** (with **Manage Access**), **Properties** (type, size, location, owner, dates; **Show more** for the rest) and **Tags**. Its **Activity** tab shows what happened to the item. See [See a file's details and activity](https://drime.cloud/support/drive/file-details-and-activity).

## Your account menu

Click your avatar, top right. The menu shows your name, email, plan and storage, then **Settings**, **Security**, **Notifications**, **Theme**, **Language**, **Give us feedback** and **Log Out**.

## The Help menu

Click **Help** at the bottom of the rail for: **Contact support**, **My tickets**, **Keyboard shortcuts**, **Help center**, **API docs**, **What's new ?**, **Download apps**, **Privacy policy** and **Terms of service**.
