Collaboration Tips
For Team Projects
Share a folder with edit permissions so everyone can add and modify files. Consider creating subfolders for different team members or topics.
For Client Deliverables
Use view-only share links with passwords and expiration dates. This ensures secure, time-limited access.
For Collecting Files
Use file drop folders to receive files from multiple people without revealing the folder contents to each other.
