Manage collaborative folders

You can check and edit collaborative folder information such as Folder Masters or members.

Also, you can manage collaborative folders that are deleted or set as private.

Only the administrator and Masters of 'Admin > Drive' can access and edit the collaborative folder management settings.

However, if there are folders with restricted access members within a collaborative folder, you cannot change the sharing scope from 'Entire company' to 'Specific members' in the share settings.
