Types of Workspaces

Workspaces are a collection of files organized in directories. These files can be accessed by one or more people depending on administrative settings.

Every workspace is owned by an organization, therefore, just like with organizations, there are three types of workspaces: personal, open, and private.

Personal workspace is the one created for every user by default. It cannot be marked as open, renamed, deleted, or provided access to for another user.

Open workspace is the one that is marked open (see below). It is visible to all users, including anonymous ones. Files in an open workspace are read-only and can be downloaded by everybody. Write access requires membership in the owning organization/workspace and write permission.

Private workspace is not marked as open in visibility settings (see below). It isn't visible to anybody except members of an organization that the workspace is owned by. Write access also requires membership in the owning organization/workspace and write permission.
