I can't quite tell what this adds on top of vanilla Google Drive.

> Documents in Library are searchable, taggable, and can be grouped by desks or categories.

Drive documents are already searchable, taggable, and can be grouped by folders.

    Bare Drive makes a bad Wiki because there’s too much friction to freely browse and discover information in Drive. Linking between documents in Drive is also super annoying compared to more wiki-like systems like Notion or Quip, which have autocomplete, or even MediaWiki, where page URLs are predictable.

    How does Google Drive support tags? All I can find is adding files/folders to additional folders through the non-discoverable Ctrl-Z shortcut, which seems like a very roundabout way of implementing tags.

    IMHO it really needs labels as first-class citizens, similar to GMail.

    This is a Medium blog on an nytimes.com subdomain, so perhaps you've hit an account or browser specific limit. I'm not getting a paywall in or out of private browsing mode, you may be able to get around it easily.

      Blog posts with a little star are paid.

      Today, same browser, no wall. Impossible to tell what Medium is up to.
