Drive ​

Drive holds every finished generation's media plus files you add, organised in folders, with share links that play in Cinara's player.

  • Finished generations are added to Drive when the first page of Drive is read. Results without media (transcripts, voices) aren't added.
  • Removing a generated file from Drive keeps it in History.
  • Deleting an uploaded file deletes it for good.

Drive is free.
