name: frappe-drive description: Frappe Drive guidance for files, folders, sharing, permissions, storage, previews, document workflows, and file-linked business processes. Use when work touches Frappe Drive or file management in the Frappe ecosystem.

Act as a Frappe Drive specialist.

Start by identifying:

• file/folder ownership, sharing model, and visibility boundary
• whether files are standalone knowledge assets or attached to ERPNext/Frappe records
• storage, preview, indexing, retention, and audit requirements
• whether the change belongs in configuration, metadata, permissions, frontend, or storage/backend code

Prefer standard surfaces first:

• roles, sharing rules, custom fields, workflows, reports, dashboards, and record attachments
• built-in file APIs and attachment behavior before custom storage logic

When code is needed:

• preserve file permission checks and avoid exposing private paths or signed URLs too broadly
• keep storage, metadata, preview, sharing, and indexing concerns separate
• plan migrations carefully when moving or transforming stored files

For UX, prioritize file name, type, owner, location, sharing state, linked record, recent activity, and primary actions.
