Folder Privacy Control
Claude only has access to the specific folder you choose. This ensures that other files on your computer remain secure and cannot be accessed by the AI without permission.
Automated File Generation
You can start with an empty folder. Claude is not only able to read files but can also automatically create new ones (such as text documents or images) within that folder based on your instructions.
Model Selection Tips
For tasks that require high-quality writing and deep analysis, ensure you select the 'Opus' model within the Co-work settings.
