How to use a shed, for the people who use one. Everything here is also inside the app, under Settings.

Using the shed

Finding things, getting them out, and putting them back.

Find a file, or words inside one

Search reads names, folders and the words inside documents. Filters, patterns and what to do when nothing turns up.

Jump straight to a folder or file

Press Cmd+K and type. The words that narrow it: in:, type:, changed: and #tag.

Open a file, or take a copy

Previews in the browser, downloading a file, fetching a folder as a ZIP, and what is recorded.

Collect files from different folders

The bucket gathers files and folders from anywhere in the shed so you can download, tag, move or bin them together.

Gather files with tags

Tags hang on the file, so they follow it when it moves and gather work from across the shed.

Find files by job number

If your company has connected the system it runs work from, tag a folder with its job number and everything under it is covered.

Put a folder back into SharePoint

What happens, what the shed keeps, and how to stop Sweep taking it straight back.

Share a file or folder with a link

Who can open it, how long it lasts, and what the Shared links page records.

Get something back from the bin

Thirty days to put anything back, what the bin is not, and what it costs in space.

Clear out copies of the same file

Finds files kept in more than one place, lets you bin the extra copies, and gives your team a list for SharePoint.

Use Shed on your Mac

Your shed in the Finder, putting drives and cards in with Ingest, what the menu bar tells you, and pausing, speed limits and office hours.

Running the shed

For Admins: what moves, who gets in, and what it costs.

Change what moves into the shed

The rules, the five presets, how a run ends, the cooling-off period and the dry run.

Invite someone and choose what they can do

Invitations last 14 days, the five levels, access requests, and suspending or removing someone.

Disconnect or block a Mac

Disconnecting, and blocking for good when a laptop is lost or someone leaves, and what a blocked Mac is told.

Keep a folder to certain people

Rules narrow a folder to named people or a domain, and the longest rule wins.

Ask for a code as well as a sign-in

Codes for new browsers or new countries, what someone sees when they are held, and forgetting a browser.

Understand your invoice

Billed on the month's peak size, what the usage figures mean, and what happens if an invoice is not paid.

Talk to us

Start with one library.

Tell us which libraries or drives are full and roughly how large they are. We size a shed, set up the first sweep with you, and most are running within a week.
