Quick Start

Prepare a first file

Use the address supplied by your instance operator and verify that it is the instance you intend to trust with files. Start with a small, nonempty text file such as mywebdrive-first-file.txt, containing MyWebDrive first upload. Keep the original. Do not begin with sensitive material or your only copy.

If no instance is running, developers should read Local development. Ask Docs explains the product; it does not sign in to your drive, upload files or create shares.

Sign in by email

1. Open /signin on the instance, enter an email address you can receive mail at, and choose “发送验证码” (send code).
2. Find the six-digit code in your inbox, enter it on the same page and choose “验证并登录” (verify and sign in). Leading zeros count.
3. If mail is missing, check spam and the address spelling. Wait for the 60-second resend countdown. A code expires after 10 minutes; do not repeatedly submit a code from an old message.
4. A regular user lands on /account; an administrator lands on /admin/overview. Administrators can also visit /account for their own files.

There is no separate password registration flow. Registration and password-reset compatibility routes redirect to code sign-in. The first successful verification creates an account; the operator controls its quota.

Upload and inspect

1. Select the small file in the account page's upload area.
2. Check its name and byte count, then choose “开始上传” (start upload).
3. Wait through quota reservation, part transfer and background processing. A 100% progress bar only means the parts were sent.
4. After “上传完成” (upload complete), check the file name, size and version in the list. If processing is still pending, wait and use “刷新” (refresh); do not immediately upload the same name again.
5. Choose “版本” (versions) to inspect the version number, size and time. Choose “下载” (download), save a copy and compare its contents with the original. Compare SHA-256 hashes when exact byte equality matters.

Success means a usable version appears and the downloaded contents match the original. Sign-in, upload acceptance and a full progress bar are separate intermediate results.

Finish and continue

Choose “退出登录” (sign out). Keep both local copies until comparison is complete. The current account page has no delete button; signing out or refreshing does not delete server files.

For failures, read Uploads and Quota. For distribution, distinguish a share, which can require a password or limit ticket issuance, from an anonymously visible publication.
