Cloud Storage

Cloud Storage is the file workspace for your Hermes Agent. Use it to keep the files an agent needs in one place, then upload, organize, download, or remove them from the Agent console without leaving LightVela.

This page covers

• Opening your Agent's Cloud Storage
• Uploading, creating, and organizing files and folders
• Downloading, renaming, and deleting files
• Checking that the workspace is ready for your agent

Good to know: Cloud Storage belongs to the selected Agent. Open the same Agent whenever you want to manage the files it can use.

When to use Cloud Storage

Cloud Storage is useful when an agent needs reference material, working documents, or a tidy place to keep files created during a task. For example, you can upload a project brief before asking the agent to summarize it, or create folders to separate recurring work.

It is different from the agent's saved context. To manage what an agent remembers across conversations, see Memory.

Before you start

1. Make sure you can open the Agent you want to work with.
2. Prepare the files you want to add. Individual uploads and downloads support files up to 1 GB.
3. Decide on a simple folder structure if you are adding several related files.

Open Cloud Storage

1. Open Agents and select the Agent whose files you want to manage.
2. Open its Cloud Storage or Files section.
3. Wait for the file list to load before starting an upload or a folder action.

If the list does not load, refresh the page and try again. If the issue continues, use Diagnostics to review the Agent's recent logs before making a larger change.

Upload files and create folders

Upload a file

1. Select Upload.
2. Choose one or more files from your computer.
3. Keep the page open until the upload finishes, then confirm that the file appears in the current folder.

Use clear names so that both you and the agent can recognize the file later. If a file is too large, reduce it below 1 GB or split it before uploading.

Create a folder or file

1. In the folder where you want the new item, select New folder or New file.
2. Enter a descriptive name.
3. Confirm the action, then open the new item to continue working.

A small structure is usually enough: one folder for source material, one for work in progress, and one for finished files. Avoid deeply nested folders unless they genuinely make the project easier to navigate.

Manage existing files

Select a file or folder to use the actions available in the file list:

• Open a folder to browse its contents.
• Download a file when you need a local copy.
• Rename an item to make its purpose clearer.
• Delete files or folders you no longer need.

Caution: Deleting an item removes it from this Agent's Cloud Storage. Download anything you may need later before deleting it.

If you use tools that create hidden files, turn on the hidden-file view only when you need to inspect them. Keeping that view off makes everyday file management easier.

Verify the workspace

You are ready to use Cloud Storage when:

• the file or folder appears in the expected location;
• you can open or download the file successfully; and
• the folder names make it clear which material belongs to the current task.

You can now return to Chat and tell the Agent what you want to do with the files. For repeatable work, combine the same instructions with Automations or Skills.

FAQ

Why cannot I upload or download a file?

First check that the file is no larger than 1 GB and that your connection is stable. Refresh the Cloud Storage view, then retry the action. If it still fails, collect recent information in Diagnostics.

Can I use one Agent's files with another Agent?

Cloud Storage is managed from the selected Agent's console. Open the Agent you intend to use and add the files there so the workspace stays clear and intentional.

Does deleting a file remove it from my computer?

No. Deleting from Cloud Storage removes the managed copy for that Agent. It does not delete the original file on your computer.

Next steps

• Use Chat to work with the files you have prepared.
• Review Memory when the Agent should retain context, not just files.
• Use Diagnostics if storage actions repeatedly fail.
