Share a Folder or File

Pick sharing scope based on expected collaboration duration and blast radius.

Scope decision

  • Share folder when collaboration is ongoing and multi-item
  • Share item when access should stay narrow and temporary

Safe sharing workflow

  1. choose folder/item scope
  2. select recipients
  3. assign minimum role required
  4. verify effective access with a test recipient
  5. review access after the work phase ends

Guardrails

  • do not default to root-level sharing for convenience
  • avoid granting export or management capabilities unless required
  • remove temporary access when milestones close

Checkpoint

If recipients can see content outside intended scope, fix role/scope immediately before continuing work.
