My Workspace is your private working area inside HORTUS.
My Workspace is where HORTUS becomes a daily working environment. It combines personal and shared storage, document creation, version-aware files, notifications, contributions, metadata management, and project-linked actions. This chapter focuses on the work layer of the platform: the place where researchers manage evolving materials before, during, and after publication workflows.
Why HORTUS is more than a generic cloud drive
It is tempting to compare My Workspace with a generic storage tool such as Google Drive, but that comparison is incomplete. While it certainly stores files and folders, yet HORTUS also supports the Research Artifact Lifecycle natively: materials are organised, described, shared, versioned,connected to projects, discussed, submitted, published, and disseminated as research objects rather than as isolated files.
It provides:
- structured organisation of research materials
- sharing and permission control
- versioning of documents
- integration with publication workflows
- connection with metadata and dissemination
This makes it part of the research lifecycle, not just storage.
