Folders

Folders define structure and collaboration boundaries.

What folders control

• navigation and discoverability
• inherited visibility and permissions
• item grouping and workflow context

Design guidance

• model folders around durable business domains
• keep top-level structure shallow and explicit
• separate sensitive workflows into dedicated branches

Common anti-pattern

Creating many short-lived personal folders for shared team work. This causes ownership ambiguity and discovery failure.

Folder hygiene checklist

• names are unambiguous
• scope is clear from name and location
• sensitive content is isolated
• archival strategy is defined
