Share files and folders internally from a Team Folder
- By default, all files and folders within a Team Folder are shared to all its members. This avoids the necessity to share files and folders with individuals again.
- Only the Admins and Organizers of a Team Folder can share its files and folders with other team members and external users.
Zoho WorkDrive allows you to share your files and folders internally from Team Folders in the following ways:
- Share a file or folder with members who are NOT part of your Team Folder
