Shortcuts and Siri

Unraid Drive 1.0 (build 18) exposes its actions to the Shortcuts app and to Siri on iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro and Mac. They also show up in Spotlight.

Action	What it does	Parameters
Save clipboard to Unraid Drive	Saves the clipboard as a new file: text → .txt, image → .png, a copied file as is (Mac), a link → .url.txt	Server, Folder (share/folder), File name ({date} = current date and time)
Upload file to Unraid Drive	Uploads a file coming from the previous action (photo, PDF, document…)	File, Server, Folder, Replace if it exists
Get file from Unraid Drive	Downloads a file and passes it on (share it, open it, attach it…)	Server, Path (share/path/file)
List folder on Unraid Drive	Returns the names in a folder (folders end with /); empty folder = the shares	Server, Folder
Refresh Unraid Drive locations	Asks the Files app / Finder to re-read every location from the gateway	—
Test Unraid Drive connection	Gateway reachable and key accepted, spoken/shown as a sentence	Server

Siri phrases (in every app language), e.g. "Save the clipboard to Unraid Drive", "Refresh Unraid Drive", "Is Unraid Drive reachable".

Examples

• Notes → NAS: in Notes share a note as text or PDF to Shortcuts, then Upload file to Unraid Drive into documents/Notes.
• Clipboard to NAS: copy anything, say "Save the clipboard to Unraid Drive"; the file lands in the folder you chose the first time.
• Automation: when you arrive home (Personal Automation), run Refresh Unraid Drive locations so the Files app is already up to date.
• Backup a photo: Photos › Share › your shortcut with Upload file to Unraid Drive into media/Photos.

Notes

• The actions use the server's API key stored in the Keychain of the device; if it is missing (typical on a new Mac without iCloud Keychain) the action says so — open the app and enter it.
• Paths are share/folder; the leading slash is optional. Uploads that would overwrite an existing file fail unless Replace if it exists is on.
• Reading the clipboard from a shortcut may show the system paste confirmation on iOS.
