# Shared Folders When a folder is shared with at least one other user, it will be either a Shared Folder or a Team Folder, depending on how it was created and the default permissions that apply. ### Shared Folders A Shared Folder is any private folder that has been shared with somebody else. Folders can be shared both with internal organization members or external parties to become Shared folders. Once a folder becomes a Shared Folder, it will be indicated by an icon of two people on it. ### Team Folders Team folders are created and owned by Team Admins and are shared with specified groups automatically. Objects added to a Team Folder will automatically sync to all group members. Items in team folders can be shared beyond the group as well. When shared with external members, they will only be able to see the item shared with them. Specific items in a Team folder can be restricted to fewer members by selecting the item and updating the access by removing members. --- # 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.
