Sharing

Share documents and folders with your team — control who can view, comment, or edit your content.

By default, everything in Your Content is private. When you're ready to collaborate, you can share individual documents or entire folders with specific people on your team — with fine-grained permission controls.

Sharing a document or folder

Open the share dialog

Click the Share button on any document or folder. This opens the sharing panel.

Search for people

Type a name or email address in the search field. Matching team members appear in a dropdown — click to select them.

Set permissions

Choose a permission level for each person from the dropdown next to their name. You can set different levels for different people.

Confirm

The selected people now have access. They'll see the shared content in their own workspace.

Folder permission inheritance

When you share a folder, everyone with access can see all documents and subfolders inside it — up to 4 levels deep. This means you don't have to share each document individually.

If someone has access through both a folder share and a direct document share, the highest permission wins. For example, if a folder gives them "Can view" but the document gives them "Can edit," they'll have edit access to that document.

For content you want to share outside your team, toggle "Anyone with the link can view" in the share dialog. This generates a read-only public URL that anyone can access — no account required.

Click the Copy button to copy the link to your clipboard. You'll see a brief "Copied!" confirmation.

Managing shared access

From the share dialog, you can:

  • Change permissions — Use the dropdown next to any person's name to adjust their access level
  • Remove access — Click the X button next to a person to revoke their access entirely

Document and folder owners always retain full edit access, regardless of sharing settings. You can't accidentally lock yourself out of your own content.
