Organizable storage in projects and folders
Projects and folders structure helps to keep organized all stored documents. Redmine Drive plugin allows storing files inside folders structure. Folders can be created inside projects or on a global level with access permissions for all logged users.
The permissions for the drive plugin for a particular user (or group of users) could be set in administration - roles, and permissions. The available options here are:
Attachments within issues
In every issue edit mode, you could find the following button option for the Drive plugin:
When you click on it, then the window with the available shared files and folders will appear. A great variety of file extensions is supported.
Drive files attachments can be used for auto-update file changes and optimizing disk storage. Users may not have access permissions to all Drive storage to read issue attachments.
Links with predefined time
Drive files and folders sharing can be limited by a specific date. In that case, the client can see and download files only until the selected date.
You can grab the newly generated link via the Copy button on the right.
Tagging and filtering
A great feature is that both files and folders could have tags related to them:
This allows you to be more productive via filtering the needed content and then saving it, so you could access it again later without filtering again:
