GuideTeam folders and your space

Most doors open. A few rooms kept.

A company vault should feel like a good office: the handbook on every desk, a deal room only the deal team can enter, and a drawer of your own for drafts. Team folders and your space give you exactly that.

Shared by default

Everything is open unless you say otherwise

The shared vault stays shared.

Every folder in an organisation’s vault is open to every member until an admin binds it. Binding is the exception, not the rule, so the handbook, the shared projects and the company notes stay where everyone can reach them — in the explorer, in search, and in every conversation with a team agent.

An admin binds a folder in one of two shapes. A team folder belongs to the teams named on it: members of those teams open and edit it, and nobody else sees that it exists. A folder kept by a team is one everyone can read but only that team changes — the brand guide, the pricing sheet, the policy everyone relies on.

Team folders

A room only the team can enter

To someone outside the team a team folder is not locked; it is absent. It does not appear in their explorer or their search results, a link to it reads as not found, and their conversations cannot reach it — not by asking nicely and not by running a routine. Admins are no exception. An admin who wants to see a team folder joins the team, which shows on the team’s people list like any other change.

To the team it is simply a folder, with a padlock and the team’s colour beside its name. Everything the team keeps there — notes, datasets, a dashboard built from them — stays inside. A dashboard shared with the whole company that draws on a team folder shows colleagues outside the team a plain note that the source is in a folder they cannot open, and nothing more.

Admins bind folders from the Teams tab: open a team, tap Bind a folder, and choose the shape. On the folder’s own page, Who can open this does the same for any folder.

Your space

A desk of your own

At the top of the organisation’s vault sits Your space. Tap it once and a folder of your own appears, kept to you alone. Not even an admin can open it. Drafts, working notes, the proposal that is not ready — this is where they live while they are yours.

Publishing is a move. Drag a file from your space into a shared or team folder and colleagues can see it; move it back and they cannot. Your team agents can work in your space with you, and anything they remember from it stays with you rather than in the company’s shared memory.

It is company data, honestly kept. If you leave the organisation your space is handed to the owner rather than deleted, and the owner’s whole-vault download leaves everyone else’s spaces out. Your personal 1Presence is a separate place entirely and is never part of this.

Say this

Draft the Q3 proposal in my space.

The agent writes it under your space; nobody else sees it until you move it out.

Say this

Who can open the Finance folder?

A member of the team is told; anyone else cannot see the folder to ask about it.

Living with it

What follows a binding

Memory keeps to the room. A team folder stays searchable rather than remembered in full, so nothing from it surfaces in a colleague’s recall; the folder page says why. Your space may be remembered in full — by you alone.

Syncs and uploads land where you may write. A folder you can read but not change is shown locked when you choose where a sync or a save should go, and a write into it is refused with the reason.

Sharing is still yours. You can send a document from a team folder to someone outside the organisation exactly as before; the share sheet reminds you that doing so takes it outside the team.

When a team is deleted its folders stay closed rather than falling open, and the Teams tab lists them under Folders without a team until an admin gives them a new home or opens them to everyone.
