Drive: Overview of Methods

Drive is a tool for working with files. It allows you to:

• store company documents and personal files
• upload, edit documents, and view change history
• configure access permissions for files and folders
• share files via public links with external users
• synchronize files with your computer

Drive is integrated with Tasks, Chats, CRM, Workgroups, and other Bitrix24 tools. This simplifies work by providing quick access to files, collaborative work on them, and automating document flow.

CRM. Files can be attached to deals and estimates. The group of methods crm.activity.* is responsible for working with activities, while crm.quote.* handles estimates.

Workflows. You can initiate workflows for documents in the shared drive. Workflow management is performed using the methods bizproc.workflow.*.

Tasks. Files are attached to task descriptions. All task participants can view, edit, and download attached files. Work with tasks must be done through the methods tasks.task.*.

Calendar. Files can be added to events and become accessible to all participants. You can create and modify events using the methods calendar.event.*.

News Feed. Files can be attached to messages and comments. The method log.blogpost.add creates a new message, while the method log.blogcomment.add creates a new comment.

Workgroups and Projects. Drive is integrated into workgroups and projects, each having its own storage.

Universal Lists. List items are linked to Drive through the field of type File (Drive). You can create and modify items using the methods lists.element.*.

Chats. Users can exchange documents, photos, videos, and audio. Files can be viewed and downloaded, and documents can be edited in the chat without downloading. Attached files are available to all chat participants. The method im.message.add sends a message with a file in the chat.
