Drive admins and settings

Autessa Drive settings are where a drive’s owner and admins decide how it works: who the drive admins are, whether Editors can share, storage use, semantic search, the OCR language for scanned documents, table sharing and triggers, and, in the owner-only danger zone, transfer ownership or delete the drive.

Every drive needs a responsible owner

Without clear admins and switches, sharing policy depends on whoever touched the folder last. A short, plain settings page makes the rules for each drive explicit.

README · what you get
  • Drive admins can open, move and share everything in the drive.
  • Editors can share is on by default, as in Google Drive; turn it off so only owners and drive admins can share.
  • A storage section shows how much of your allowance the drive uses.
  • Search: turn semantic search on or off for the drive.
  • Scanned documents: set the OCR language, such as eng or eng+fra.
  • Who can open this drive and Triggers link to the drive’s table sharing and triggers.
  • Transfer ownership gives the drive to someone else; you keep access as an editor.
  • Delete drive deletes every file and folder in it for everyone.
