Org Drives - Org drives are designed for assets and files that will be utilized in many different sagen scenes. These org drives are available as a source within any sagen project you're working on.
Any number of org drives can be created to help you organize content as you see fit
Org drives support the creation of subfolders
To create an org drive press the create org drive button and provide it with a name when prompted.
Sagen Drives - Sagen drives are automatically created when a new sagen project is created. It will show the cover image of the sagen to help you recognize it.
Deleting a sagen drive also deletes the sagen
