Each chat, file and project in a team has a privacy setting. Team owners and admins cannot open private items.
Chats
A chat is private to you by default. Other people can see a chat in these cases:
- You create a share link for it with Share conversation. See Team share link rules for who may create links.
- The chat is in a project that the team can see. Chats in a project follow the project's visibility.
Files
In File manager, open the file's menu and select Share. The Access & public links dialog lets you choose one of these options:
- Only me: only you can open the file. Not even team admins can read it.
- Specific people: you, and the people you give access to.
- Everyone in team: every active member of the team can see the file.
Projects
When you create a project in a team, choose one of these options:
- Only me: only the creator can see the project. An admin who manages a project sees it as Only its creator.
- Everyone in the team: every active member can see the project.
When someone leaves
If you leave a team or are removed from it, the content you shared with the team may stay in the team. Content that is private to you is not shared with the team.
