CEDX Files · Platform

The file estate,
with its exposure showing.

Three hundred twenty files and 120 share links in the demo workspace, and the console counts what file tools usually leave for the incident review: 46 links open to anyone, 99 files untouched in 90 days, and classification labels on only 63% of the library.

The finding that writes the page: a Confidential archive reachable through an anyone-link, no sign-in required. The console found it; nothing else was going to.

What it is

File governance in three tables.

The library, with risk per row

All files as one table: type, folder, share class, opens, size, idle days and owner on every row. The AI column is honest about its scope — 79 files processed, summary and Q&A ready, marked with a chip — and the stale and external counts are header cards, not filters you have to build.

  • 320 rows, 22K opens counted across the library
  • Share class per row: Private, Internal, Org, External, Anyone
  • Idle days on every row — 99 files at 90 or more
files — screen-2
The library, with risk per row

Folders as policy boundaries

Forty-eight team spaces with members, files, size, external-link count, policy and classification per row. The folders that matter sort themselves: a Confidential archive with 19 external links under an External OK policy is visible in the same glance as a Restricted folder with 10.

  • Policies: Standard, Restricted, External OK
  • Classes: Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted
  • 323 external links counted across the 48 folders

Shares that expire, or say never

The links table shows type, opens, recipients, expiry and status per link — Anyone, Org or Named. The never in orange is the governance: most of the active links have no expiry at all, and the expired-and-revoked tab keeps the other 15 of the 120 on record.

  • 105 active links of 120 all-time

01 — Overview

Workspace health at 25% — and why

The health ring is blunt: 25%, driven by 46 open anyone-links, 99 stale files and 63% label coverage. The alerts are root-caused — the Confidential archive on a public link is named with its file, its class and its share type.

  • Share mix: 95 private, 59 internal, 78 org, 53 external, 35 anyone
  • Files by type: 46 presentations to 34 images
  • AI units tracked: 18K of a 25K monthly plan

02 — All files

The library as a working table

Three hundred twenty rows where opens, idle days and share class sit next to the filename. Sorting by opens puts a 420-open brief beside a 251-open zip on an anyone-link — popularity and exposure in one view.

  • Document · PDF · Spreadsheet · Image chips
  • Anyone and External as one-click filters
  • AI-ready files chipped on the row

03 — Folders

Where the policy actually lives

Folder rows carry the controls: a Board folder with 49 files and 15 external links, an Events folder at 23.4 GB, each with policy and class attached. External OK is a deliberate state — you can see which folders chose it.

  • 48 folders, members counted per folder
  • Size per folder from 662 MB to 41 GB
  • CSV of the filtered view

04 — Shares

The link estate, expiry by expiry

One hundred five active links with opens, recipients and expiry. An onboarding PDF opened 90 times through 120 recipients with no expiry is a different object from a named link expiring in September — and the table shows both.

  • Active · Expired / revoked · All as tabs
  • Anyone · Org · Named · External only chips
  • Owner on every link

Who runs it

Three roles keep the library defensible.

Roles, not references. We have no named customers yet, so nobody in these photographs is quoted, credited or claimed as one.

Records management

Owns classification: 63% coverage today, and the 99 files idle 90 days or more that pollute search and storage alike.

stale files · 99

Security review

Owns the anyone-link queue — 46 open, one on a Confidential archive — and the never-expiring links the orange text keeps asking about.

anyone-links · 46

IT administration

Owns the plan arithmetic: 18 GB of 500 GB used, 18K AI units of the 25K monthly plan, and the folders growing past 40 GB.

storage · 18 GB

How it runs

A file's life, in the order it actually happens.

01

Land

A file arrives in a folder that already has a policy and a class — the boundary exists before the content does.

02

Label

Classification coverage climbs toward 100%: 63% today, with the unlabelled share visible rather than assumed.

03

Share

Links go out with a type and an expiry — or they do not, and the never shows in orange until someone owns it.

04

Retire

Ninety days without a touch makes a file stale; 99 of them are counted, so cleanup is a list, not a project.

One record

The content the rest of
the estate works on.

Files is where the estate's documents live — found by search, cited by the assistant, kept honest by audit.

Questions

Before you pilot Files.

Is the software on this page real?

Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build and you can open the same build at /app/files. It runs on demo data, which the page says next to the figures rather than in a footnote.

What is an anyone-link and why does it matter?

A share link that opens without sign-in. The demo workspace has 46 of them active, and the Overview alert that matters is one such link on a Confidential archive — reachable by anyone holding the URL. The console counts and exposes them; what you then revoke is your call.

How does expiry work on share links?

Every link carries an expiry date or the word never, rendered in orange. Most of the 105 active links in the demo have no expiry — which is exactly the governance gap the column exists to make visible. Expired and revoked links stay on record under their own tab.

What does AI-processed mean?

Scoped on the screen: 79 files have been processed for summary and Q&A, marked with an AI chip on the row, metered against an 18K-of-25K monthly units card. Nothing broader is claimed.

What counts as a stale file?

Ninety days without activity. The demo library has 99 of them, counted on the Overview header, because stale files pollute search results and storage budgets alike.

Is Files audited or certified?

No certification has been issued. What we can evidence about hosting, encryption, tenant isolation and production access is written up on the security page.

The console is running. Go and look at it.
