Workdrive not integrated with the rest of Workplace?

Hi,

We are a small non profit organisation that looks after land for residents of a housing development.  We have signed up for Workplace Pro however despite WorkDrive being the folder collaboration tool highlighted as being part of the core system, it seems in no way integrated with Workplace.

For example when accessing Workplace, it doesn't appear along the top bar of options, instead Docs is the only option. Also when creating new files with Writer/Sheets etc. the only cloud option for saving is again folders within Docs, there is no option to save to the WorkDrive location.

I am guessing we are missing something very fundamental but we have no idea what it is! We have been using a free plan for the last year and I wonder whether this has something to do with why Docs still seems to be the embedded option whereas WorkDrive should be?

So, our assumption was that WorkDrive would be the default location for our files and where new documents would be saved to however at present the only way of getting stuff there is to upload a file as a separate process, or load up WorkDrive and start a new document from there. It rather makes the entire premise of the Workplace dashboard redundant!

Many thanks

Andrew
