You can create as many hyperdrives as you want. Each hyperdrive has its own URL. You so that other people can visit the hyperdrive.

Only the creator of a hyperdrive can change its files. Visitors can only view the drive (though they can to make their own copy).

To create a new hyperdrive, click on the hamburger menu on the top right of the browser.

Then select "New Hyperdrive..."

You will be prompted to input a title and, optionally, a description. These will be used to identify the hyperdrive.

You will be taken to the new hyperdrive which is (mostly) empty.

Your hyperdrive is now ready to edit. You can create a new index.md (for Markdown) or index.html (for HTML) by clicking on the prompts below.
