Attaching files from WorkDrive
WorkDrive is a cloud based file management software that allows people to create, store, and share files within their organization. Any document (Spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, images, or writer documents) that is created in WorkDrive can be shared with the peers, members from other teams, and external users that helps enhance collaboration.

Sharing documents through WorkDrive
The documents created in WorkDrive can be attached to the CRM records in the form of a link. While attaching the document you must set the sharing permissions based on which the user will be able to access the attachment (Learn more about

Creating WorkDrive Team from CRM
If your
organization does not have a WorkDrive account, then the CRM administrator can create a WorkDrive Team from CRM. All the CRM users will be automatically synced with the newly created team. However, you can add or remove users from a team only from WorkDrive.
Note that the users with admin profile in CRM will be admins in WorkDrive also.
For CRM admins
While attaching file you can create a WorkDrive team right from your CRM account.
Alternately you can choose to create a team from the scratch. If this option is selected, the CRM users must be manually added to the WorkDrive team
The admins who already have a WorkDrive team cannot create another team from the CRM account. Also, once a WorkDrive team is created, any new user that is added to the CRM account must be manually added to the WorkDrive team.
For non-admins
The non-administrators who don't have a WorkDrive account can contact the CRM admin to setup a team in WorkDrive.
