Overview of Team Folders on Zoho WorkDrive

Team Folders - An Overview

A Team Folder is the central, shared workspace your team needs for effective collaboration. It provides a single, dedicated location where members can create, upload, edit, and share files and folders. This structure gives your team the necessary access to work together on projects efficiently.

How Team Folders work  

Team Folders are ideal for organizations divided into departments (like Marketing, Sales, and Research). Each team can create multiple folders and sub-folders to organize files for specific projects or tasks.

When you set up a Team Folder, you would:
  1. Add designated members from your team.
  2. Assign them appropriate access levels (Admin/Organizer/Editor/Commenter/Viewer) to manage permissions.
Once a folder is created and members are added, any file or folder placed within it is immediately accessible to all members of that folder, with their activity controlled by their assigned access level.
 

Types of Team Folders

1. Private Team Folder

Private Team Folder is to collaborate on tasks or projects that are specific to a particular department or sub-group within your team.
 
Only the members who have been added to a private Team Folder can access its files and folders. Admins and Organizers of a private Team Folder can add any required members to it.
 
Notes
Members in a team can also create Team Folders with co-workers to help organize the work they need to complete.

2. Public Team Folder

Public Team Folder is for tasks or information that is common and relevant to all departments and members of the team (e.g., company-wide policies).

Anyone on your team can view and join the folder. All team members can browse documents, participate in collaboration, and contribute value.
 
The default role of any member who joins a public Team Folder is Viewer. The Team Folder Admins and Organizers can then change the role of the member as necessary.
