Manage files in a workspace and restrict access

How files are shared inside a Drime workspace, and how to hide a file or folder from specific members with Restrict access.

Updated Web

In a team workspace, members see the workspace's files according to their role. You can still share items with specific people, and hide an item from some members.

#Share inside the workspace

Share files and folders as usual, with Share: see Share a file or folder with people. If you enter the address of someone who is not a member, Drime warns you that this address is not on your team before you continue.

#Hide an item from some members

  1. Right-click the file or folder and choose Share.

    The Share dialog of a folder, with Who has access and the access levels
  2. Open Restrict access.

  3. Turn on the switch next to each member who should not see the item.

    The panel reads Toggle on to remove a member's access to this file and its contents.

    The Restrict access panel of the folder Finance, with the switch turned on next to Thomas Bernard to remove his access

Access restricted confirms it. The member no longer sees the item or anything inside it, including in their Shared page. Turn the switch off to give access back: Access restored.

You cannot restrict the item's owner, the workspace owner or yourself.

#Files from your personal space

To bring files from your personal space into the workspace, use Move to and choose the workspace with the selector at the bottom of the dialog. See Move files between workspaces. Whose storage the workspace's files use is explained in How storage works in a workspace.

#If it doesn't work

What you see

What to do

Cannot restrict the entry owner.

The member you chose owns the item: their access cannot be removed.

Cannot restrict yourself.

You cannot hide an item from yourself.

The address is not on your team

You are sharing with someone outside the workspace. Check the address, or continue if you mean to share with them.

The member still sees the item

Check that the switch next to them is on in Restrict access. Restricting a folder also hides everything inside it.
