The CTERA Portal user interface navigation pane always contains the following options:
Depending on the site configuration, the display can also include:
- A BACKUPS option, described in BACKUPS.
- The amount of storage you have used out of the maximum you have been allocated. If your storage is unlimited, the storage information is not displayed.
- If CTERA Drive Share/Protect (Agent) is added to the CTERA Portal firmware repository, the Download Agent option is displayed.

CLOUD DRIVE
The CLOUD DRIVE option in the navigation pane contains your files. You can add as many folders or files as you like to the cloud drive, but the following folders are there by default:
My Files
The My Files folder contains your content and is automatically synced to CTERA Drive Connect or CTERA Drive Share, when installed on your computer. Whether the My Files folder is displayed or not, and it's name, is dependent on a Virtual Portal Setting. By default this folder is empty unless you completed the first-time tutorial, in which case it includes the GettingStarted.pdf file.
Shared By Me,
The Shared By Me folder contains all of the content that you have shared with others. Initially this folder is empty and is only populated after you share content, as described in Collaborating on Files.
Shared With Me
The Shared With Me folder contains all of the content that other users shared with you.
If folders or files are not shared with you, this folder is empty.
In this example, there are a number of shared files and folders that the user called End User2 shared. The Mobile folder has Read/Write permission but the Architecture.png and CTERA Documentation Set with Search.zip files only have Read Only permission. The person who shares the files decides the permission.
BACKUPS
The BACKUPS option lists all of your backups in your CTERA Portal account.
Choosing a backup folder displays information about the backup and a restore option and the option to drill down to specific folders and files.
DEVICES
The DEVICES option lists all of your devices that are registered to the CTERA Portal account.
