How to Give a Member or Group Access to a Folder

From the folder’s menu choose Share / Manage Permissions, open People in your workspace and select Grant Permission. Pick a user or group, tick what they can do, and select Grant Permissions. Everything inside the folder inherits it.

Before you start

You need to be an owner or admin, or hold Share or Manage on the folder. The person must already be a member of your workspace.

Steps

  1. 01

    Open the folder’s permissions

    Choose Share / Manage Permissions from the folder’s menu, then open the People in your workspace tab.

  2. 02

    Start a grant

    Select Grant Permission.

  3. 03

    Choose who

    Set Grantee Type to User or Group, then search for and select the person or group.

  4. 04

    Tick what they can do

    Choose any of View, Download, Upload, Edit, Delete, Share and Manage. Manage includes all of the others.

  5. 05

    Save

    Select Grant Permissions.

Good to know

  • Permissions granted on a folder are inherited by all its subfolders and files.
  • To remove access, select the trash icon next to the person or group. It revokes all their permissions on that folder at once.
  • To change someone’s permissions, revoke them and grant the new set.
  • Invite people first from Settings → Team Members; members are unlimited.
