Note:

• When a file or folder is shared with a Group, each team member in the group will receive both email and bell notifications. However, when a file or folder is shared with the email-enabled group (in Workplace), only an email notification will be sent to the group email address and not to individual team members.
• If a member already has access to the file or folder in addition to the role added via the group, the higher ranking role of the member will apply.
