 This article describes a feature available to customers on DocSend Enterprise.

Overview

Owners and admins can manage access to team folders on the Content page. By controlling access, you can ensure that each sub-team in your organization only sees the content relevant to them.

Folder access levels

There are three levels of folder access that you can apply to a sub-team:

  • No access: Users can't view the folder or any of its content.
  • View and share only: Users can view the folder, its content, and create links to share it.
  • Edit and share: Users can view, share, and manage content in the folder, including adding, removing, and updating files. They can also manage folder access and move content, including sub-folders.
