Shared Folders: Collaborate Without Limits

When you need an ongoing shared space — not just a one-off link — Shared Folders give your team a persistent home for files. Think Google Drive or Box, but built into your Fast.io workspace with no per-user fees.

  • Persistent shared space — files stay organized and accessible long-term
  • Member permissions — control who can view, edit, or manage each folder
  • Desktop app sync — work offline and sync changes automatically when you reconnect
  • Invite externals — bring in clients or partners without exposing the rest of your workspace

Access Control

Secure by Design

Sharing files shouldn't mean losing control. Set boundaries on who, when, and how your files can be accessed.

RESTRICTIONS

Passwords & Expirations

Lock down sensitive links with passwords, and set them to auto-expire after a certain date or number of downloads.

MODES

Send, Receive, Exchange

Choose exactly how guests interact with your share. Allow them to only download (Send), only upload (Receive), or both (Exchange).

HIERARCHY

Granular Permissions

Control access down to the specific file or folder. Give some users edit rights while restricting others to view-only.

COLLABORATION

Guest Access

Share securely with external collaborators. They can view, upload, or download based on your rules, without needing a Fast.io account.

COMPLIANCE

Complete Audit Trails

Every view, download, and modification is permanently logged. Always know exactly who accessed your data and when.

GOVERNANCE

Ownership Transfer

Agents can build a workspace and cleanly transfer full ownership and billing responsibility to a human team member.
