Shared workspaces

One account. Separate workspaces.

What a workspace is

A private space for one team or organisation

A workspace is the home for a team's files. It has its own folders, its own members, its own storage plan and its own sharing links. Nothing crosses from one workspace to another, so it is the boundary you can rely on.

Each person has one login, and that login can belong to more than one workspace. An accountant serving several clients, or an owner running two businesses, can switch between them without signing out or juggling passwords.

Get your team working together

  1. 1

    Create the workspace

    Register and give it a name your team will recognise.

  2. 2

    Set up top-level folders

    A few clear folders are far better than dozens of vague ones.

  3. 3

    Invite your colleagues

    Enter each person's email address on the Team page and send them the link.

  4. 4

    Review membership regularly

    Remove people who no longer need access as part of your leaver process.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I belong to several workspaces?

Yes. Accept invitations with the same email address and use the switcher to move between them.

Do workspaces share storage?

No. Each has its own plan and allowance, and billing is separate.

Can I transfer ownership?

Contact support and we will help you with this.

What happens when a member is removed?

They immediately lose access to the workspace. Files they uploaded stay in the workspace.
