# Difference between a Workspace and a Drive

Workspace is the central location for you, your team, drives, and assets. This allows for easy permissions management across drives, unified billing across an organization, and logging for security and audit across files and assets. Workspaces can have as many drives of any type. Users can be added to a workspace with the following permissions:

Drives are the location in which you can house different sets of assets. You could choose to create a drive per project, per client, per shoot, or however you choose depending on you and your teams workflows.

Our recommended solution is to choose create a drive per client, and separate out folders for projects and shoots. This allows for maximum permission control and easy revocation and access expiration for external collaborators and workspace members.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.shade.inc/help-center/workspaces-faq/difference-between-a-workspace-and-a-drive.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
