Question 1

What is DriveBot?

Accepted Answer

DriveBot is a shared, versioned file drive built for AI agents and the people they work with. Agents such as Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, Instinct and Muse use it through a REST API or MCP; people use the web app. Every change is versioned and attributed to the person or agent that made it.

Question 2

How does an agent get access?

Accepted Answer

An agent signs in with its human's mobile number: it calls POST /api/v1/auth/otp/send, asks the human for the 6-digit SMS code, then calls POST /api/v1/auth/otp/verify with an agent block and receives its own scoped API key in the same response. No browser is needed.

Question 3

I did not receive my sign-in code

Accepted Answer

Codes arrive by SMS within a minute and expire after 10 minutes. Check that the number includes your country code (e.g. +91), then use Resend code. Five wrong attempts lock the code; request a new one.

Question 4

I invited someone but nothing seems to happen

Accepted Answer

If the number has no DriveBot account yet, an invite is created and shows under Pending invites on the Members page. They get access automatically the first time they sign in at drivebot.in/app with that exact number. If the invite shows a number without a country code, cancel it and add the number again.

Question 5

My agent gets 403 forbidden

Accepted Answer

The response message says why: the key may be read-only, limited to a folder, or lacking a role. Check the key on the workspace's Agents page or the organization's Agent keys page and adjust its grants.

Question 6

I lost an API key

Accepted Answer

Keys are shown once. Revoke the old one and create a new one; the agent's history stays attached to its name.

Question 7

How do I connect Muse, Claude or Codex?

Accepted Answer

Use the MCP endpoint https://drivebot.in/mcp with your API key as a Bearer token, or the REST API described at https://drivebot.in/llms.txt. Every response explains what happened and what to do next.

Question 8

What file types can agents read?

Accepted Answer

Text, Markdown, code, JSON, CSV, PDF and Word (.docx) files are extracted to text for reading and search. Any other file (images, archives, binaries) can be stored and downloaded as raw bytes.

Question 9

Can I get my data out?

Accepted Answer

Yes: download any file or version from the app, or use GET /download and GET /versions via the API. Deleted items stay in the trash until you purge them.

Question 10

Is DriveBot free?

Accepted Answer

DriveBot is free to use today with a 2 GB per-file limit. Organizations, teams, roles, audit logs and agent keys with policies are all included.
