Configure access permissions for your personal Drive

You can share files from your personal Drive with colleagues. Set permissions for individual users, departments, or groups. If you don’t want to share your entire Drive, grant access to specific files or folders. Use advanced permissions for more control.


Set access permissions

  1. Go to Drive > My Drive.
  2. Click Settings (⚙️) and select Assign permissions.
  3. Click + Add more to choose who can access your Drive.

By default, only you and the account administrator have full access.

You can assign access to these groups:

  • Users: Select any employee. Search by name or login.
  • Employees and departments: Grant access to teams or subdepartments.
  • Social network groups: Share with groups, their owners, or moderators.
  • Other: Grant access to external users or all authorized users.

Share specific files or folders

If you want to keep your Drive private, share only selected items.

  1. Select a file or folder.
  2. Click Share > Share with other users.
  3. Click + Add more to select users and set permissions.
  4. Save the changes.

The shared folder appears in the selected users’ personal Drives.

If you grant access using Access permissions the file does not appear in their Drive. They need to open your profile and go to Drive to view it.

If you change access permissions on a Trial or Professional plan and later downgrade, users may lose access to files. You cannot restore previous settings because:

  • You can’t reconfigure or review Drive permissions on lower plans.
  • Default permissions cannot be restored.
