Drive Overview
The Drive in a nutshell is a representation of a client drive that handles file management system commands. From the Drive Owner perspective, Drive is represented by a local directory, where the Owner can manage their files that are subsequently pushed to Replicators.
In order for a Drive to become usable, a minimum number of Replicators must be assigned to it. This number is governed by Network configuration, and is currently set to 4.
