Files · standard · 10 GB included

You don't need somewhere to put files. You need to find the one from that conversation in March.

Drive gives you infinite space and no memory of why anything is there. So you build folders, then a naming convention, then you stop maintaining both — and the file you want is final-v3-USE-THIS.pdf in a folder called Misc.

The kind nobody builds for

A folder tree is a filing system you have to maintain forever.

So the attachment is the filing. Put the file on the thing it's about, and you never have to decide where it lives.

Four things it actually does

Attach from wherever you are

A ticket, a note, a project, a meeting, an invoice. Drag it, pick it, or paste a screenshot straight from the clipboard — which is how most of them arrive.

Find it by what it was about

Search the filename, the client, the project, or the words in the note it's attached to. No path to remember, because there isn't one.

Send it to someone without an account

One link, expiring or not, revocable whenever. No login for them, no folder shared by accident, and nothing else of yours reachable from it.

And it tells you the truth about space

10 GB in the base. Files are the one thing metered here, because they're the one thing that costs money. Past that, +100 GB for $5, and going over never deletes anything.

The kind nobody builds for

A folder tree is a filing system you have to maintain forever.

Every file storage product hands you an empty hierarchy and calls it freedom. But a folder only means something if you keep meaning it — and one person running four projects will not, because filing is work that produces nothing.

Meanwhile the thing you actually remember about a file is never its path. It's the screenshot Claire sent about the reading packs — a person, a conversation, a week.

So the attachment is the filing. Put the file on the thing it's about, and you never have to decide where it lives.

Four things it actually does

Attached, findable, shareable, honest about the cost.

Attach from wherever you are

A ticket, a note, a project, a meeting, an invoice. Drag it, pick it, or paste a screenshot straight from the clipboard — which is how most of them arrive.

Find it by what it was about

Search the filename, the client, the project, or the words in the note it's attached to. No path to remember, because there isn't one.

10 GB in the base. Files are the one thing metered here, because they're the one thing that costs money. Past that, +100 GB for $5, and going over never deletes anything.

The one that matters most

Paste a screenshot onto the thing it's about.

Most of what arrives isn't a document. It's a photo of a form, a screenshot of an error, a picture of a note on the counter — and it arrives in a text message.

So paste it straight onto the ticket, the project, the note or the meeting it belongs to. The file and the record it explains end up in one place — no folder to choose, no naming convention to keep. The attachment is the filing.

The real objection

“I already pay for Drive and it's basically infinite.”

Keep it, and keep the big things there — video, archives, the decade of stuff. I'm not trying to be your disk, and 10 GB says so honestly. What Drive can't do is know that this PDF is the signed scope for the project you're invoicing, raised on the ticket Claire opened in March. Put the files that belong to the work where the work is, and leave the rest where it is.

No folders to maintain

There is no tree, no move, no rename-to-sort. The attachment is the filing, and it was done the moment you attached it.

Going over never deletes

Past 10 GB you stop being able to add, and everything you have stays exactly where it is. Nothing is ever removed to make room.

And they leave with you

The export includes every file, in folders named after what they were attached to — so the structure you never had to build gets built on the way out.

Straight answers

Can a client send me a file?

Yes — through Ground Control's intake or a reply on their ticket link, and it lands attached to that ticket. Still no account for them.

What can I attach to?

A ticket, a note, a project, a meeting, an invoice, an estimate — and a task. A file on a task also belongs to its project, inferred through the task, so ticking the task off never takes the file with it.

Is there versioning?

No. Attach the new one; the old one stays attached with its own date. Two files with two dates is a version history you can actually read.

Can you see my files?

No. They're stored encrypted at rest with one storage provider, named in the privacy page, and I don't open them — the only time I'd look is if you write and ask me to fix something.

Paste the next screenshot in here instead.

That's the whole test. In three weeks, see whether you can find it faster here than in the folder you would have made.

On a phone, on purpose

This is the short version of the site, cut down to what reads well on a small screen. The full thing — every instrument explained, the pricing configurator, the whole story — lives on the desktop site. So does the app: Cloudbase is meant to be worked from a real screen, at a desk, with your hands on it.
