Features of folder types in shared storage (collaborative folder, message room folder, shared folder)

This feature is available after applying for WORKS Drive or the Standard or Standard Plus plan of NAVER WORKS Core.

The differences between Collaborative Drive (collaborative folder, message room folder, shared folder) and My Drive are as follows.

Collaborative folders

Collaborative folders are a space for teamwork, where you can store and share all company knowledge and work materials.

Depending on the purpose, you can create a collaborative folder, and the Folder Master can manage the sharing scope and other settings.

However, creating a collaborative folder may be restricted depending on administrator settings.

Note

Shared folders

Shared folder is a folder shared by a member who uses My Drive with another member.

When you add a member to your folder, it will appear as in 'My Drive'.

The user who adds members to the folder becomes the Folder Master.

  • Only the owner of My Drive and the members they add to the folder can access it.
  • The Folder Master can change the permission (edit or read) for the members added to the folder.
  • Used storage is deducted from the personal storage capacity of the user who shared the folder.
  • Displayed as to added users.

Note

  • Link sharing: To share files and folders as links, the administrator of the user who added members must allow Drive's link sharing function for personal folders in Admin. Also, the added users must have editing permissions for the shared folder.
  • Moving files and folders: Files and folders in a shared folder can only be moved within the same shared folder by users with the editing permission.
  • Deleting files and folders: Deleted files and folders are moved to the Trash of the My Drive of the user who added the members.

Message room folder

Message room folder is a space that can be used by members of a message room with multiple participants or of a Team/Group Message Room.

Depending on the Admin settings, the Folder feature may be restricted and the Team/Group Folder must be enabled by the Group Master or team leader specified by the administrator.

  • Only members of a message room can access the folders within that message room.
  • The team leader or the Group Master can set the permission (access, edit or read) for each folder.
  • Used storage is deducted from the shared storage.
  • Message room folders are available for use only when using NAVER WORKS Core product.
  • Displayed as .
  • You can add message room folders to the list to view them collectively in Drive.
    • In both the PC web and Drive app, even folders not added to Drive can be viewed by selecting 'Show All Folders', which will be displayed with .
