Share an Entire Folder with Staff
NewGrant view or edit access to every doc and walkthrough inside a folder. Sub-folders inherit automatically.
Steps
- 1
Go to Library and hover the folder you want to share. Click the ⋯ menu on the folder and choose Share folder.
- 2
The same Share dialog opens, this time scoped to the folder. Search for a team member and click Add. Pick Viewer (read-only) or Editor (can rename, edit, delete items in the folder).
- 3
Every doc, walkthrough, and sub-folder inside this folder picks up the same permission automatically. You don't have to share items one by one.
- 4
When you open the Share dialog on a doc that lives inside a shared folder, the people who inherit access appear in an Inherited from folders section with the folder name, so it's clear how they're getting in.
- 5
Most-permissive wins: if a staff member has Viewer on a folder but Editor on a specific doc inside it, they get Editor on that doc. Whole-library-access staff (set from /team) always have full access regardless of folder shares.
- 6
Only managers can share folders. Staff with Full library access can see everything but can't grant access to others.
