Organization

Structure that scales

Folders, project files, workspace files, and drag-drop uploads — everything has a place and a path to get there.

Folder hierarchy

Create nested folders to organize files however your team works. Rename, move, and restructure anytime without breaking links.

Project files & workspace files

Each project has its own file space, and the workspace has a shared root. Project files stay scoped to the team — workspace files are visible to everyone.

Breadcrumb navigation

Always know where you are. Click any segment in the breadcrumb path to jump back to a parent folder instantly.

Drag-drop upload

Drag files from your desktop directly into any folder. Multiple files upload in parallel with progress indicators and automatic retry on failure.

Preview & viewing

See it before you download it

Images, PDFs, videos — preview files inline without downloading. The sidebar shows metadata, version info, and quick actions.

Inline image preview

Click any image to open a full-size lightbox preview. Zoom, pan, and compare versions without leaving the file browser.

PDF viewer

Open PDFs directly in the browser. Scroll through pages, search text, and jump to sections — no external reader needed.

Video playback

Play video files inline with standard controls. Scrub, pause, fullscreen — all without downloading the file first.

File info sidebar

Select any file to see metadata: size, type, upload date, uploader, and version history. Quick actions for rename, move, share, and delete.

Sharing & privacy

Share with control

Public and private files, shareable links, download controls, and version history — so the right people see the right version.

Public & private files

Mark files as private so only you can see them, or keep them public for the project team. Privacy is per-file, not per-folder.

Shareable links

Generate a link to any file and share it with teammates or external collaborators. Links respect the file's privacy setting.

Download controls

Control who can download files. Preview-only mode lets people view without saving a local copy.

Version history

Every upload to the same path creates a new version. Browse previous versions, compare changes, and restore old files in one click.

Storage

Built for real workloads

Plan-based storage limits, usage tracking, and cloud-native infrastructure — so your files are fast, safe, and always available.

Plan-based storage limits

Each subscription plan includes storage. Free gets 500MB, Pro gets 50GB, Team gets 200GB, and Lifetime gets 5TB. Upgrade anytime.

Usage tracking

See exactly how much storage your workspace is using. Per-project breakdowns show which projects are the heaviest.

Azure Blob Storage

Files are stored in Azure Blob Storage with geographic redundancy. Fast uploads, fast downloads, and 99.9% availability.

Automatic backups

Azure's built-in replication means your files are backed up across multiple data centers. No manual backup process needed.

Consolidate your stack

Part of the whole

Files connect to everything in Workel

Because files are built into the same workspace as your projects, chat, and tasks — everything is linked. No copy-pasting URLs between tools.

Chat file shares appear here

Drop a file in chat and it automatically appears in the project's Files tab. One upload, two places — no duplicates, no broken links.

Project files linked to tasks

Attach files to tasks and they show up in both the task detail and the project file browser. Context stays connected.

Files searchable from Cmd+K

Search for any file by name from the global search popup. Jump to it without navigating through folders.

Storage counted against plan limits

File storage is tracked per workspace and counted against your subscription plan. Usage is visible in workspace settings.
