# Shared Folders

In Egnyte, the root folder is known as a Shared Folder. This folder is the main directory for all of the organization's files. The name, description, and permissions on this folder can't be changed.&#x20;

Any folders created within this primary shared folder are considered top-level folders, and only users and Power Users with this functionality enabled can create folders at this level.&#x20;

### Shared sub-folders

Folders created under the company's Shared Folder are shared sub-folders. When created, these sub-folders can be shared with specific users and groups. Admins and the creating user can adjust the sharing permissions at any time.&#x20;
