Permissions & Safety
The AI assistant is designed to be helpful and careful. It can do a lot, but it never goes rogue. Here’s how it keeps things safe.
Safe actions happen right away
Section titled “Safe actions happen right away”When you ask the AI to do something harmless — like searching for a file, checking your storage, or looking up your plan details — it goes ahead and does it immediately. There’s nothing risky about reading information, so there’s no reason to slow you down.
Examples of things the AI does immediately:
- Searching for files
- Showing your storage usage
- Listing your shared links
- Checking your current plan
- Viewing download stats
Risky actions need your permission
Section titled “Risky actions need your permission”When you ask the AI to do something that changes or affects your files, money, or account, it pauses and asks you first. You’ll see a permission request card appear in the chat. It explains exactly what the AI wants to do and gives you two buttons:
- Allow — go ahead and do it
- Deny — stop, don’t do anything
The AI won’t take action until you click one of those buttons. It just waits.
Examples of things the AI asks permission for:
- Deleting files or emptying your trash
- Creating or revoking share links
- Moving files to a different folder
- Making payments or purchasing token packs
- Changing account settings
- Anything that affects other people (like removing a team member)
You’re always in control
Section titled “You’re always in control”This is the most important part: the AI never does anything dangerous without your say-so. Even if you accidentally type “delete all my files,” it won’t just go ahead and do it. It’ll show you a permission card, explain what’s about to happen, and wait for you to confirm.
If you change your mind after asking for something, just click Deny. Nothing happens. No harm done.
Not sure what it wants to do?
Section titled “Not sure what it wants to do?”If you see a permission request and you’re not sure whether to allow it, that’s completely fine. Click Deny, and then ask the AI to explain. You can say something like:
- “What exactly will that do?”
- “Wait, explain what you’re about to delete”
- “Will this affect my shared links?”
The AI will explain in plain language, and you can decide whether to try again.
How permissions are grouped
Section titled “How permissions are grouped”Behind the scenes, the AI categorizes actions into different levels of sensitivity:
- No permission needed — reading information, searching, viewing stats
- File access — viewing or opening file contents
- Sharing actions — creating, modifying, or removing share links
- Social actions — following, blocking, or messaging other users
- Destructive actions — deleting files, emptying trash, removing content
- Payment actions — purchasing tokens, managing subscriptions, tipping
The more sensitive the action, the more clearly the permission card explains what’s going to happen.
The short version
Section titled “The short version”The AI is smart, but you’re the boss. It does the easy stuff on its own and asks you before doing anything that matters. If in doubt, deny and ask questions.
