# Private Folders ### Folders Folders (sometimes called "Private folders") inherit the permission of the parent folder by default. At the top level, they are shared with the creating user only, who has full control and can specify who to share the contents with. If a private folder is shared with another user, it becomes a Shared folder. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
