You can create and administer groups for your departments or project teams. Instead of sharing a folder with your users one at a time, you add them all at once. With groups, you can create lists of people who require access to the same shared folders based on department, team, or project, and:

  • Share folders with an entire group immediately.
  • Onboard users more efficiently: adding a user to an existing group automatically grants access to the group's shared folders.

  1. Click Users & Groups () in the left navbar, raising the Users window.
  2. Click the GROUPS tab.
  3. Click the add group button () at top right.

To restore a user to a group

When a user is removed from a group, their username is not removed from the group. 

A RESTORE button appears adjacent to removed user names.

  1. Click the RESTORE button.
  2. You are prompted to confirm. Click YES. 
  3. The user is restored to the group.
