You turn your private folder into a shared workspace by inviting another user as the second "member" -- you are the first member and owner of the workspace.

• Select  File    Access    Invite Member   in the top menu bar to trigger this action.

By inviting additional members to a shared workspace you enlarge the group of people who may access the workspace and the objects it contains.

Before you turn a private folder into a shared workspace, please read chapter 4, in particular sections 4.4 to 4.7.

A private folder, a shared workspace or a folder or discussion within a workspace becomes a public workspace by selecting  Access    Public Access   .
 File    Access    Invite Member   offers this action, too.

As a default every user is authorized to read all documents in the folder. Section 4.7 explains how to modify the access rights of your workspace.
