File Management & Cloud Storage
Crew can work with files across three storage locations: your Crew Workspace, Google Drive, and OneDrive.
Crew Workspace
Your personal cloud storage where files created by Crew are stored.
Listing Files
"What files are in My Files?"
"Show me the files I created this week."
Reading Files
"Read the contents of report.txt."
"What does the meeting notes document say?"
Crew automatically converts these formats to readable text:
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX
TXT, CSV, JSON, HTML, Markdown
Creating Files
"Save these notes as meeting-notes.txt."
"Create a file called todo.md with my task list."
Editing Files
"In report.txt, replace all mentions of 'Q3' with 'Q4'."
"Add a new section at the end of the meeting notes."
"Delete lines 15 through 20 from the config file."
Supported edit operations:
Find and replace: Replace specific text
Insert: Add text at a specific line
Append: Add text at the end
Delete lines: Remove specific line ranges
Downloading from URLs
"Download the CSV file from this URL and save it to My Files: https://example.com/data.csv"
Google Drive
Searching
"Find the Q4 sales report on my Drive."
"Search for spreadsheets I edited last week."
"Find all PDF files in my 'Projects' folder."
Reading
"Read the project brief document on Drive."
Crew can read Google Docs, Sheets (as CSV), Slides (as text), PDFs, and plain text files up to 1 MB.
Uploading
"Upload this summary to my Google Drive."
"Save the analysis results to Drive in the 'Reports' folder."
You can also upload My Files to Drive:
"Upload the meeting-notes.docx file from My Files to Google Drive."
Browsing Folders
"List the files in my 'Shared' folder on Drive."
"What's in the root of my Google Drive?"
Downloading
"Download the presentation from my Drive."
Managing
"Delete the old draft from my Drive."
OneDrive
OneDrive supports all the same operations as Google Drive:
Search & Read
"Search my OneDrive for the budget spreadsheet."
"Read the project proposal from OneDrive."
Upload & Manage
"Upload this file to my OneDrive 'Documents' folder."
"Delete the outdated report from OneDrive."
Cross-Drive Support
OneDrive can also access shared drives:
"List files in the shared team drive."
Practical Scenarios
Document Workflow
"Find the project plan on Google Drive, read it, update the timeline section with the new dates, and save it back."
Cross-Platform File Transfer
"Download the report from OneDrive and upload it to Google Drive in the 'Shared' folder."
Data Analysis Pipeline
"Read the sales data CSV from My Files, analyze it with Python, create a chart, and save both the chart and a summary PDF to Google Drive."
File Cleanup
"List all files in My Files older than 7 days and tell me which ones I can safely delete."
Tips
Specify the storage: Be clear about which storage you mean — "My Files," "Google Drive," or "OneDrive"
Use folder paths: "Upload to the 'Reports/2026' folder on Drive" for organized file management
Combine with other tools: Upload email attachments to Drive, save web research to My Files, etc.
