Folder Access Levels

  • No access: Users will not be able to see the folder or any content within it.
  • View and share only: Users can see the folder and its content. They can create links to share the content, as well as Live Present any content in the folder. 
  • Can edit and share: Users can see and share content in the folder, and they can also add, remove, and update existing content. They can also manage folder access and move content, including sub-folders, within the folder.
