Getting Started
What is Loop?
Loop brings your files, messages, tasks, contacts, email and calendar together in one place. Every account includes six everyday apps at no extra cost: Drive (file storage), Chat, Todo (tasks), Contacts, Mail and Calendar. Depending on your account you may also see other apps, such as Workspace, PearlGit, Peak AI, Domains and Analytics, together with the Help Center.

How do I open an app?
Sign in to Loop. Your home screen shows a tile for each app you can use — click a tile to open it. To switch to another app, click the Loop logo at the top of the page to go back to the home screen.
Was this helpful?
Do I need to pay for any of the apps?
No. All six apps — Drive (with 1 GB of storage), Chat, Todo, Contacts, Mail, and Calendar — are completely free and included with your Loop account. There are no hidden fees, trial periods, or premium upgrades required to use the core features.

Which browsers are supported?
Loop works on all modern web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari. We recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best experience. JavaScript must be enabled for all features to function properly.
Was this helpful?
Can I use Loop on my mobile device?
Yes. Loop is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets through your mobile browser. The interface automatically adapts to your screen size, providing an optimized experience for touch-based devices.
Was this helpful?
How do I switch between apps quickly?
Click the Loop logo at the top of any page to go back to your home screen, then pick the app you want. On a computer you can also type the app's name in the search box at the top of the page.
Was this helpful?
Is my data secure?
Yes. Everything sent between your browser and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS). Your files, messages and personal information are stored securely and can be seen only by you and the people you choose to share them with.
Was this helpful?
Does Loop support multiple languages?
Yes. Loop is available in English and Arabic, with a right-to-left layout for Arabic. To change the language, click your picture at the top of the page and choose "Language". On the Help Center pages for visitors, use the EN / العربية switch at the top.

Drive
What is Drive?
Drive is your personal file storage in Loop. You can upload files, organize them in folders, preview and download them, and share them with other Loop users or through a public link.
Was this helpful?
How much storage do I get for free?
Every user gets 1 GB of storage in Drive. If you need more, contact support — an administrator can raise your limit.
Was this helpful?
What happens when I reach my storage limit?
If an upload would take you over your storage limit, it is refused and you see a message. To free space, delete files you no longer need — the space is released as soon as a file is moved to Trash. You can also ask support to raise your limit.
Was this helpful?
How do I upload files?
Open the folder you want, then click "Upload Files". Choose your files or drag them into the box — you can add several at once — and click "Upload All". A progress bar shows each file, and the files appear in the folder when the upload finishes.
Was this helpful?
Is there a maximum file size limit?
Yes. One file can be up to 5 GB; a larger file is refused with a message. Some file types are not accepted, for example program files such as .exe.
Was this helpful?
How do I create folders to organize my files?
Click "New Folder", type a name and confirm. You can create folders inside other folders. A folder can be renamed or deleted at any time from the menu at the end of its row.
Was this helpful?
Can I rename files and folders?
Yes. Open the menu at the end of the item's row and choose "Rename". Moving an item to another folder is not available yet — to move a file, download it and upload it to the new folder.
Was this helpful?
How do I share files with other users?
Open the menu at the end of the item's row and choose "Share". To share with a Loop user, search for them by name or email. People you share with can view and download the item, and you can allow them to share it onward. For a file you can also create a public link that works for anyone who has it. Sharing a folder gives access to everything inside it.
Was this helpful?
How do public share links work?
A public link is a unique address that lets anyone who has it open or download the file without signing in. You can protect it with a password, set an expiry date and limit the number of downloads. To stop a link working, open the item's Share page or "My Shares" and click "Revoke".
Was this helpful?
What happens when I delete a file?
A deleted file or folder goes to the Trash. It stays there until you restore it or remove it for good — nothing is deleted automatically. Files in the Trash do not count toward your storage. To remove items permanently, open Trash and choose "Delete Forever" for one item, or "Empty Trash" for everything.
Was this helpful?
How do I restore a file from the Trash?
Open "Trash" in Drive, open the menu at the end of the item's row and choose "Restore". The item goes back to the folder it was in. If that folder was deleted too, restore the folder first.
Was this helpful?
Can I preview files before downloading them?
Yes. Open the file's menu and choose "Preview". Images, PDFs, text files, video, audio and Word or Excel documents open in the browser. Other file types can be downloaded and opened on your device.
Was this helpful?
How do I search for files?
Use the search box above the file list. It filters the folder you are in as you type. To find something in another folder, open that folder first.
Was this helpful?
Chat
What is Chat?
Chat is Loop's built-in messaging app. You can send direct messages to other Loop users and share files with them. Messages arrive instantly, and you can see when the other person is online or typing.
Was this helpful?
What types of conversations are available?
Chat is for direct, one-to-one conversations with other Loop users. Group chats and channels are not available yet.
Was this helpful?
How do I start a new conversation?
Open Chat and type the person's name in the "Search contacts..." box. Click the person in the results to open the conversation, then write your message and send it.
Was this helpful?
Can I share files in Chat?
Yes. Click the attachment icon or drag a file into the message area. You can send images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP), PDF, Word and Excel documents, text files and ZIP or RAR archives, up to 10 MB each. Images are shown in the conversation; other files appear as a link to download.
Was this helpful?
Can I see when someone is typing?
Yes. While the other person is writing, the conversation shows that they are typing.
Was this helpful?
How do I know if someone is online?
A green dot on a person's picture means they are online. The top of the conversation also shows "Online" or when they were last seen.
Was this helpful?
Do I receive notifications for new messages?
Yes. A dot appears on the Chat icon when you have unread messages, and each conversation shows how many are unread. If you allow notifications in your browser, you also get a notification when a message arrives while Loop is not open.
Was this helpful?
Todo
What is Todo?
Todo is Loop's task app. Create tasks, group them into lists, set due dates and reminders, mark what is important, and follow your progress in a list or on a Kanban board.
Was this helpful?
What are task lists and how do I use them?
Lists group related tasks. Every user starts with a default "Tasks" list that cannot be deleted. You can create as many lists as you like (for example "Work", "Personal", "Shopping"), each with its own icon and color. To create one, click "New List" in the sidebar.
Was this helpful?
How do I create a new task?
Open the list, type the task in the "Add a task…" box and press Enter. The task is created at once. Click the task to add notes, a due date, a reminder or attachments, or to mark it as important.
Was this helpful?
What is 'My Day' and how does it work?
My Day shows the tasks you choose to focus on today. To add a task, right-click it and choose "Toggle My Day"; do the same to remove it. My Day clears itself every night, so you start each day with an empty list. The tasks stay in their own lists.
Was this helpful?
How do I mark a task as important?
Click the star icon on any task to mark it as important. Important tasks are highlighted and can also be viewed together in the Important smart view. You can toggle importance on or off at any time.
Was this helpful?
Can I set due dates and reminders?
Yes. Click a task to open its details and choose a due date, or right-click the task and choose "Set Due Date…". In the same panel you can set a reminder with a date and time; Loop sends you a notification at that time. Tasks with a due date appear in the "Planned" view, and a date that has passed is shown in red.
Was this helpful?
What happens to overdue tasks?
A task that passes its due date without being completed is overdue: its date turns red, and Loop sends you a notification once a day listing your overdue tasks. Complete the task or change its due date to clear it.
Was this helpful?
Can I add notes or details to a task?
Yes. Click a task to open its details and type in the notes box. Notes are plain text, up to 10,000 characters, and are saved automatically.
Was this helpful?
Can I attach files to a task?
Yes. Open the task's details and click "Upload" in the attachments section. Files are added one at a time, up to 25 MB each.
Was this helpful?
Can I share a task list with other users?
Yes. Right-click one of your lists and choose "Share List", then search for the person and add them. The list appears for them under "Shared with Me". They can add tasks, edit them and mark them complete; only you can delete the list. The default "Tasks" list cannot be shared.
Was this helpful?
Can I assign tasks to other people?
Assigning tasks is available to administrators and managers. If someone assigns a task to you, you get a notification and the task appears under "Assigned to Me". You can open it and mark it complete.
Was this helpful?
How do I mark a task as completed?
Click the circle next to the task. The task moves to the "Completed" section at the bottom of the list — click that heading to show or hide completed tasks. To reopen a task, click its circle again.
Was this helpful?
Can I delete a task list?
Yes. Right-click the list and choose "Delete List". The default "Tasks" list cannot be deleted. Deleting a list also deletes all the tasks in it.

Contacts
What is Contacts?
Contacts is your address book in Loop. Store names, emails, phone numbers, company details and notes for the people you work with, inside or outside your organization, and organize them into groups.
Was this helpful?
How do I add a new contact?
Click "Add new contact" on the Contacts page (or "New Contact" in the sidebar). Enter a first name and at least an email or a phone number; last name, company, position and notes are optional. You can also choose groups and tick "Mark as Favorite". Then click "Save Contact".
Was this helpful?
What information can I store for each contact?
Each contact record supports the following fields:
• First Name and Last Name
• Email Address
• Phone Number
• Company (organization name)
• Position (job title / role)
• Notes (free-form text for any additional information)
• Favorite flag
• Group membership
Was this helpful?
Can I link a contact to a Loop system user?
Yes. When you add a contact, use the search box at the top of the form: type the person's full email address or phone number, then click their name in the results. Their details are filled in and the contact is linked to their Loop account. The search needs the exact email or phone number.
Was this helpful?
What are contact groups and how do I use them?
Groups let you sort your contacts (for example "Clients", "Vendors", "Friends"). To create one, type a name in the "Add new group" box on the Contacts page and press the + button. Choose a contact's groups when you add or edit it. Click a group to see only its contacts; each group shows how many it contains.
Was this helpful?
How do I mark a contact as a favorite?
When adding or editing a contact, tick "Mark as Favorite". Click "Favorites" on the Contacts page to see only your favorites. You can change this at any time by editing the contact.
Was this helpful?
How do I search for a specific contact?
Type in the search box above the contact list and press Enter. The search covers name, email, phone number and company. You can combine it with a group or with "Favorites".
Was this helpful?
Can I edit or delete a contact?
Yes. Click a contact to open it, then open the menu at the top of its details and choose "Edit" or "Delete". The edit form also has a "Delete Contact" button. A deleted contact cannot be restored from the Contacts page — if you removed one by mistake, contact support.
Was this helpful?
Is there a limit to how many contacts I can store?
No. You can store as many contacts as you need. The list shows 20 contacts per page in alphabetical order; use the arrows under the list to move between pages.
Was this helpful?
Mail
What is Mail?
Mail is the email app inside Loop. Connect your PearlFibers mailbox, or a Gmail or Outlook account, and read, write, reply to, forward and organize your email without leaving Loop.
Was this helpful?
How do I set up my email account?
The first time you open Mail you see "Connect Your Email". Enter the email address and password of your PearlFibers mailbox and click "Sign In" ("Test" checks the details first). For Gmail or Outlook, choose "Sign in with another account (Gmail, Outlook)". Your messages appear after the next sync, within about five minutes, or straight away if you click "Sync Now". To add another account later, go to Mail → Accounts → "Add Account".
Was this helpful?
Can I connect multiple email accounts?
Yes. Add each account under Mail → Accounts. When you have more than one, a menu at the top of the inbox lets you switch between them. Each account keeps its own folders.
Was this helpful?
Which email providers are supported?
Mail works with mailboxes hosted by PearlFibers, with Gmail, and with Outlook / Microsoft 365. Gmail and Outlook accounts are connected by signing in with Google or Microsoft, so Loop never sees that password. Other providers and custom mail servers are not supported yet.
Was this helpful?
How do I compose and send an email?
Click "New Message". Add the recipient in "To" (CC and BCC are available too), write a subject and your message, attach files if you need to, and click "Send". The message is sent straight away from the account you are using.
Was this helpful?
Can I reply to or forward emails?
Yes. Open the email and click "Reply", "Reply All" or "Forward". The original message is quoted below your text. "Reply All" answers the sender and the people in the To line; add anyone who was in CC yourself. When you forward, the original attachments are not included — download them and attach them again if the recipient needs them.
Was this helpful?
How do I attach files to an email?
While writing a message, click "Add file" or drag files into the message. You can attach up to 10 files of up to 25 MB each. Program files such as .exe, .bat and .js are not accepted. Your email provider may apply its own limit to the total size.
Was this helpful?
What are the available mail folders?
Mail automatically syncs the standard folders from your email account, including:
• Inbox — Incoming messages
• Sent — Messages you have sent
• Drafts — Unsent message drafts
• Trash — Deleted messages
• Spam / Junk — Spam-filtered messages
Any custom folders or labels you have on your email server are also synced and accessible.
Was this helpful?
Can I search my emails?
Yes. Type in the search box at the top of Mail and press Enter. The search looks in the subjects of all the emails in the account you are viewing, and in the text of emails you have already opened. You can narrow it with from:name, in:folder, has:attachment, is:unread, before: or after: — the results page shows more tips.
Was this helpful?
Can I star or flag important emails?
Yes. Click the star next to an email. To see your starred emails, use the "Starred" filter above the list or search for is:starred. Stars are kept in Loop only; they are not copied to your email provider.
Was this helpful?
Can I set up an email signature?
Yes. Go to Mail → Accounts and click the signature icon next to the account, or click "Signatures" while writing a message. Each account can have several signatures with formatted text and links. The one you set as default is added to every new message you write (not to replies or forwards).
Was this helpful?
How does email synchronization work?
Loop checks your mailbox for new email every five minutes; click "Sync Now" to check immediately. The sync is one-way: Loop brings your email in, but what you do in Loop — reading, starring, moving or deleting — is not changed at your email provider or on your other devices. Messages you send from Loop are kept in Loop.
Was this helpful?
How do I delete or move an email?
Tick one or more emails in the list, then use the buttons above it: "Delete" moves them to Trash, and "Move" puts them in another folder. From Trash you can move a message back or delete it for good. These changes apply inside Loop only.

Calendar
What is Calendar?
Calendar is Loop's scheduling app. Create events, plan meetings and deadlines, and see your day, week or month at a glance.
Was this helpful?
How do I create a new event?
Click a day or a time slot in the calendar, or click "Add Event". Enter the event name, the start and end date and time and, if you like, a description, a location and a color. Click "Submit" to save the event.
Was this helpful?
Can I create all-day events?
Yes. Tick "All Day" when you create or edit the event. It then appears at the top of the day instead of in a time slot — useful for holidays, deadlines and events that last several days.
Was this helpful?
How do I edit or delete an event?
Click the event to open it. Use the pencil icon to edit it or the trash icon to delete it. Changes take effect straight away.
Was this helpful?
What calendar views are available?
Calendar supports multiple views to suit your needs:
• Month View — Overview of the entire month with events listed on each day
• Week View — Detailed hour-by-hour view of the current week
• Day View — Focused view of a single day with time slots
You can switch between views using the toolbar buttons at the top of the calendar.
Was this helpful?
Can I assign colors to events?
Yes. Each event can be assigned a custom color. This helps you visually categorize different types of events — for example, blue for meetings, green for personal time, red for deadlines. Select a color from the color picker when creating or editing an event.
Was this helpful?
What are company events?
Company events are shown on everyone's calendar. Administrators and managers create and edit them; everyone else can see them but not change them. They are used for company-wide announcements, holidays and team meetings.
Was this helpful?
Can I drag and drop events to reschedule them?
Yes. Simply click and drag an event to a new date or time slot. The event is automatically updated. You can also resize an event on the week or day view by dragging its bottom edge to change its duration. These changes are saved instantly.
Was this helpful?
Does Calendar show working hours?
Yes. In the week and day views, the company's working hours have a normal background and the hours outside them are greyed out, so you can tell business hours apart when planning.
Was this helpful?
Can I navigate to a specific date quickly?
Yes. Click "Today" to jump back to the current date, and use the arrows to move between months, weeks or days. In the month view, click a day's number to open that day.

How do I update my profile information?
Click your picture at the top of the page and choose "Account Settings". There you can change your name, phone number, profile picture and other details, then save.

How do I enable or manage notifications?
Loop shows notifications inside the app for things such as new chat messages, task reminders and overdue tasks.

To get notifications when Loop is not open, allow notifications for Loop in your browser.

I cannot upload a file to Drive. What is wrong?
Check these common causes:
• File too large: one file can be up to 5 GB.
• Storage full: delete files you no longer need — space is freed as soon as they are in Trash — or ask support for more space.
• File type not accepted: some types, such as program files, are blocked.
• Connection problem: an unstable connection can interrupt an upload. Check your internet and try again.
• Browser: try another browser or turn off extensions that may interfere.
Was this helpful?
My emails are not syncing. What should I check?
If new email is not appearing:
1. Click "Sync Now" in Mail to check immediately. Loop also checks every five minutes.
2. If you changed your mailbox password, go to Mail → Accounts, remove the account and add it again with the new password.
3. For a Gmail or Outlook account, go to Mail → Accounts and click "Re-authenticate".
4. Your email provider may be having a problem — try again in a few minutes.
If it still does not work, contact support.
Was this helpful?
I am not receiving Chat notifications. How do I fix this?
Check the following:
1. Browser permission: make sure your browser allows notifications from Loop (usually in the address bar or in the browser's site settings).
2. Do Not Disturb: check that Do Not Disturb or a focus mode is not switched on on your device.
While Loop is open, new messages show as a dot on the Chat icon and a count on the conversation.
Was this helpful?
I accidentally deleted a file. Can I recover it?
Usually, yes. A file deleted in Drive goes to Trash and stays there until you empty it: open Drive → Trash and choose "Restore" from the file's menu. A deleted email is in the Trash folder in Mail and can be moved back. Deleted contacts, tasks and calendar events cannot be restored from the page — contact support if you removed something by mistake.
Was this helpful?
Calendar events are not showing up. What should I do?
If an event is missing:
1. Check the date: make sure you are looking at the right month, week or day.
2. Refresh the page.
3. Remember that you see your own events and company events — events other people create for themselves are private to them.
4. Clear your browser cache and reload the page.
Was this helpful?
I forgot which email account I connected. How do I check?
Open Mail and go to "Accounts". The page lists every email account you have connected. From there you can set the primary account, turn an account off, manage its signatures or remove it.
