Nexoria Drive is the platform's cloud storage and also the source of company knowledge; shared content is indexed.

Nexoria Drive thus takes the place that OneDrive or Google Drive occupies in many companies, but it also takes on a second task: it is where the platform's Company knowledge comes from. Everything that the Document search finds and that Nex draws on for its answers is stored here first.

Storage knows file names, folders and modification dates. It does not know what is in the files. As long as that is the case, every answer depends on someone remembering which folder holds the right document. With a handful of contracts, that is not a problem. With several thousand documents that have accumulated over years and through changing responsibilities, it becomes one.

The usual workaround is a second tool: a search on top of the file storage, or an AI chat to which you attach the relevant files. Both merely shift the work. The search has to maintain its own index, and the chat only becomes useful once someone has found what they were actually looking for.

1. Step 1

   Storing files as usual

   Nexoria Drive integrates into Windows File Explorer as a virtual drive. Files are stored, moved and renamed there as in any other folder. Synchronisation runs in the background, every change is versioned, and deleted files remain recoverable in the recycle bin during a grace period.

2. Step 2

   Sharing via the workspace

   The workspace decides which content is available for search and AI. It assigns people and chatbots to a knowledge space. Anything not shared there remains plain file storage.

3. Step 3

   Indexing on our own servers

   The shared content is indexed. The platform calculates the embeddings required for this locally on its servers in Germany. No document leaves the environment for indexing.

4. Step 4

   Use without detours

   From this point on, the same content can be reached in two ways: through semantic document search with a source reference for each result, and through the AI assistant Nex, which answers on this basis and processes the content further.

This section is the core of the page, which is why it goes into detail. The job of cloud storage is to accept a file, keep it safe and return it unchanged. Nexoria Drive does this with synchronisation, versioning and offline availability. The real difference lies in what happens to the content afterwards.

• The drive integration requires the Nexoria Drive app on a Windows computer. The platform itself runs on the web.
• One user corresponds to one device. The same user cannot be used on several devices at the same time.
• The Base plan includes 10 GB of storage per company, the Pro plan 20 GB per company.
• How much work the initial indexing of existing content involves depends on its size. Setup is charged individually according to the work required.
• The offer is aimed at business customers within the meaning of Section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB); all prices are net prices.

• Virtual drive in Windows File Explorer, with the familiar actions for folders and files.
• Background synchronisation, with conflicts resolved.
• Versioning of every change; earlier versions remain viewable and restorable.
• Recycle bin with a grace period, during which deleted files can be restored.
• Offline availability; changes are synchronised once you are back online.
• Structure based on personal, team and collaboration folders, matching the workspaces.
• Sharing with a log of who did what and when.
• Indexing of shared content for document search and for Nex.
