Understanding Workspaces

Workspaces are the foundation of how Onlinedrive organizes files and collaboration. Every file belongs to a workspace, and workspaces can be shared with other users.

What Is a Workspace?

A workspace is a separate file storage area with its own files, folders, and team members. Think of it like a shared drive that multiple people can access.

Your Personal Workspace

When you create an account, Onlinedrive automatically creates a personal workspace for you. This workspace:

• Appears as My Files in the workspace chip
• You are the owner with full control
• Only you can see it unless you invite others
• Lives in the storage region of your drive account

Creating Additional Workspaces

You can create more workspaces for different projects or teams. Shared workspaces are included on the Professional plan and above:

Plan	Workspaces	Members per workspace
Professional	3	5
Business	10	20
Premium	15	35
Corporate	20	50
Ultimate	30	75
Enterprise	40	100

To create one:

1. Go to Workspaces in the sidebar
2. Click Create Workspace
3. Enter a name for your workspace
4. Your workspace is created and you're set as the owner

Switching Workspaces

Use the workspace chip in the header of the Files view to switch between My Files and your shared workspaces. When you switch:

• The file browser updates to show that workspace's files
• Uploads go to the active workspace
• The workspace name appears in the chip

Workspace Roles

Each workspace member has a role that determines what they can do:

Role	View	Download	Upload	Edit	Delete	Manage members
Contributor	Yes	Yes	Yes	Own files	Own files	No
Editor	Yes	Yes	Yes	All files	All files	No
Admin	Yes	Yes	Yes	All files	All files	Yes
Owner	Yes	Yes	Yes	All files	All files	Yes, plus delete the workspace

Inviting Others

As a workspace owner or admin, you can invite others to join your workspace. See the "Inviting Team Members" article for details.
