Shared Folder Management

Shared Folder Management

Bulk sharing for folders

(Available in Professional and Enterprise Editions)
You can share multiple folders with users and user groups who are a part of your organization's Zoho Vault account.

To bulk share folders:
  1. Select the required folders from the Folders tab.



  2. Click More, then select the Share Folders tab. 



  3. Select Users or User Groups accordingly.



  4. Select one of the following privileges for the corresponding users or user groups:
    1. One-Click login only: Prevents users from viewing passwords in the folders in plain text. Users with this access can only auto-log in to the websites.
    2. View: Allows users to view the passwords in plain text.
    3. Modify: Allows users to view and edit passwords and folders.
    4. Manage: Gives the user complete control over the folders. Users with this permission can share passwords and folders with others, or even delete them.



Third-party folder sharing

(Available in Professional and Enterprise Editions)
You can temporarily share a single folder with third parties, such as contractors or freelancers who do not own a Zoho Vault account or are not part of your organization's Zoho Vault setup.

To share your folders with third parties:
  1. Select the folder to share from the Folders tab.



  2. Click Share Folders, then select the Third Parties tab.



  3. Enter the email address of the third-party user, choose to give them access in the range of 30 minutes to 24 hours, then click Share Folder. An email will be sent to the user containing an encrypted link to the folder. The link will be usable for 72 hours.



  4. An encryption key that will allow the third-party user to access the shared folder will be generated on your screen. Share this key with your contact separately.



Transferring folder ownership 

(Available in Professional and Enterprise Editions)
You can transfer ownership of selected folders you own to a single user who is a part of your organization's Zoho Vault setup and has a Zoho Vault account. 

To transfer folder ownership:
  1. Select the required folders from the Folders tab.



  2. Click More, then select Transfer Ownership.

  3. Choose the user to whom folders will be transferred.

  4. Choose one of these three options:
    1. All passwords in this folder.
    2. All subfolders in this folder.
    3. Retain 'Manage' privilege to this folder.



  5. Click Transfer ownership.

Note: When you transfer a folder that contains subfolders, by default only the parent folder is transferred. Passwords owned by the user who is transferring ownership are not retained within the folder unless the user chooses to retain Manage permissions over the folder. 

If the user who is transferring ownership chooses to retain Manage permissions, then the passwords they own will remain within the folder and be shared to the new owner of the folder with Manage permissions over the same passwords. 

Ownership of the passwords is transferred only if the user who is transferring the folder chooses the All passwords in this folder option. Similarly, ownership of the subfolders is transferred only if the user transferring the folder chooses the All subfolders in this folder option.

Revoking access

(Available in Professional and Enterprise Editions)
As the owner of a particular folder, you may revoke all sharing privileges to users or user groups the folder might be shared with. Once this option is used, only you, the owner of the folder, will retain access to the folder.

To revoke folder access:
  1. Select the folders from the Folders tab.



  2. Select More, then click Revoke Sharing for All.




  3. Click Revoke.
