Files
One shared drive that people and AI work from
Find any file, even one line inside a PDF. Ask a question and get the answer with its source.
What does Mojobase Files do?
Private until you share
Nobody opens your My files until you share them, owners included, and moving a file into the Company folder shares it with the team.
Drop in a whole folder
Drag files or entire folders onto the page, or upload from your phone, and uploads join the folders you already have.
Land on the right page
Search reads inside PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files as you type, and a PDF opens at the matching page.
Go back to any version
Every document keeps its history, so you can name a version, look back at any of them, restore one or make a copy.
AI edits you can check word by word
Suggested edits show the deleted and inserted words with the AI's reason and sources, and you accept all, some or none.
Answers with the page they came from
"What notice does the cleaning contract need?" gets an answer whose numbered sources open the file at the right page, or a plain "not found in your files".
What can you ask the AI in Files?
Type it in Quick actions (⌘K) from anywhere in Mojobase, or ask your own agent over MCP.
- “What notice do we need to give to end the cleaning contract?”
- “Update last year's Northside quote with this year's prices.”
- “Draft a welcome pack for new staff from our existing documents.”
- “Tidy the files I uploaded last week into folders by supplier.”
- “Find the signed lease and tell me when the rent goes up.”
Works with: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, text and HTML files, Email attachments, read by the AI where they arrived, Tasks, for anything a document says to do.
What is document management software?
Document management software keeps a company's files in one place where the right people can find them, edit them and see what changed. For a business of a few people, that means a shared drive with folders, search, permissions and version history. Mojobase Files is that drive, with an AI that reads the files as well as you do.
The quote you're updating sits next to the customer's emails, the supplier's price list next to the task that depends on it, and the AI reads all three before it suggests an edit.
Keep files in Files and reusable policies and how-tos in the Handbook. For written company guidance, read about a company wiki and compare knowledge-base software. If training records matter too, see Trainual alternatives.

Who sees which files?
Each person has their own space and the team shares one, and the AI follows the same lines, so a private file never ends up in a shared answer.
| Space | Who sees it | AI by default |
|---|---|---|
| My files | Only its person, owners included, until they switch it to Team | On, with its own switch |
| A teammate's shared files | The whole team, as "Ana's files" | Follows Ana's switch |
| Company folder | Everyone in the company | On; an owner can switch it off |
| A folder shared with a client | Also its guests, who see only that folder | Follows its space |
A space with AI switched off is never read by a model or an agent: it's left out of Ask, of search for agents and of every scheduled run.
How does the AI work with your files?
It reads, answers and suggests, and it never writes a file you can't see.
- Ask: the passages that best match your question go to the model, which answers with numbered sources. Quotes are checked against the file before you see them.
- Suggest: edits arrive as tracked changes with the reason and the files used. Only the changed words change, so formatting stays. New documents, moves, renames and trash are suggestions too.
- Auto, if you want it: choose Ask first or Auto for each kind of change. Auto changes land in version history and Activity, with one-click Undo, and an Auto edit to a document someone has open waits for them.
- Never: delete forever, share outside the company or change AI settings. Those stay with people.
Version history marks every version the AI made, and whether you accepted it or it applied by itself.
How is it different from Google Drive?
Google Drive is part of Google Workspace, where Business Starter includes 30 GB of pooled storage per person and Gemini in Docs and Drive starts on Business Standard, according to Google's pricing page. It comes with Docs, Sheets and Slides, so it's the better choice if your team builds spreadsheets and presentations together.
Mojobase Files has no spreadsheet or slide editor. Its strength is one AI across your email, calendar, tasks, files and customers, so "update the Northside quote" can use this year's price list, last month's emails and the agreed discount together. Your own agent gets the same tools over Mojobase's MCP server, with the same suggestions and the same Undo. For options beyond file storage, compare Microsoft 365 alternatives.
What happens to files the AI finds in email?
Attachments stay with their email, and the AI reads the text inside PDF, Word, Excel and CSV files there too, so an answer can quote a contract whether it was uploaded or emailed. When a document or a message says something must be done, the AI suggests a task in Tasks with a link back to the source.
Questions people ask
Is Mojobase Files a replacement for Google Drive?
For a small team's files, yes: folders, search inside files, a shared Company folder and version history. It doesn't edit spreadsheets or slides, so Excel and PowerPoint files are stored, previewed and searched here but edited in their own apps.
Can the AI delete files or share them outside the company?
No. The AI can suggest moving something to the trash, where it can be restored, but no AI route deletes forever or shares a file. Deleting forever from the Company folder is for owners.
Which files can Mojobase search inside?
PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), CSV, text and HTML files, plus every Mojobase document. Search supports "exact phrases", -word to leave words out, and type:, title:, is:starred, after: and before:, as in Google Drive.
Can two people edit a document at once?
One person edits at a time. Anyone else, in another tab or on the team, sees it read-only with a Take over editing button, so nobody's changes are lost. Version history shows who changed what.
