Project folders for contractors, with nothing they should not see.
Set up a folder per project, give contractors the permissions the work needs, and remove them when it is done. There are no per-guest licences, however many vendors you work with.
Work with outside teams without losing control.
A folder per project
Grant each contractor access to the project folders they work on, and nothing else.
Deliverables in, references out
Grant Upload on a deliverables folder, and View and Download on reference material.
Group each vendor
Put a vendor’s people in a group and manage all their access in one place.
Every revision kept
When a contractor uploads a revised file with the same name, the earlier versions are kept and can be restored.
Revocable at any time
Revoke a group’s permissions, or suspend a member, the day the project ends.
No per-guest fees
Members are unlimited, so adding a vendor never changes your bill.
Setting up a vendor project
- 01
Create the project folders
For example, one folder for reference material and one for deliverables.
- 02
Invite the vendor’s people
Invite each person from Settings → Team Members, and put them in a group for that vendor under Settings → Groups.
- 03
Grant the group access
Choose Share / Manage Permissions on each folder and grant the group what it needs: View and Download on references, Upload on deliverables.
- 04
Remove access at the end
Revoke the group’s permissions on the project folders, or remove its members from the workspace.
Questions, answered
Do contractors need a paid seat?
No. Every plan includes unlimited members, including contractors and vendors.
What if a contractor overwrites a file by mistake?
Open the file’s Versions tab and restore the earlier version. Restoring creates a new version, so nothing is lost.
Can I share with a vendor without inviting them?
Yes. Send a share link for a single file or a folder, or a file request if you only need to receive files.
Bring your vendors into one place.
