Drive and Photo Service:BasicUI

Last Updated:Jul 03, 2025

BasicUI is an out-of-the-box drive application provided by Drive and Photo Service (PDS). BasicUI provides two application interfaces: the user interface and the administrator interface. This allows differentiated use of features and user management in enterprises or organizations based on user permissions. The user interface allows users to perform operations on files stored on drives. For example, a user can manage files and share files with external and internal users. The administrator interface allows administrators to perform management operations on drives. For example, an administrator can grant permissions, manage domain names, and enable or disable features.
