# Shared Folders

Shared folders are folders that you can add members to. Quip includes three types of shared folders—standard, group, and workspace.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in:</td></tr></tbody></table>

All three folder types can contain documents and be shared with other users. However, there are restrictions on who can create each type and what activities folder members are notified about.

- Standard: A standard shared folder is a folder that any user can create and share.
- Group: A group shared folder is a folder that an admin can create and share with a team or organization. You can enable users to add and remove documents and add members in group folders.
    
    For group folders with fewer than eight members, folder members receive notifications about updates to documents in the folder. For group folders with more than eight members, folder members receive notifications only if they turn on notifications for the folder in their notification settings. You can manage group folders from the Admin Console.
- Workspace: A workspace folder is a folder that only Quip or Salesforce Customer Support can create.
    
    You can manage membership in a workspace folder created by Quip using the Share button. You can manage membership in a workspace folders created by Salesforce Customer Support in the Admin Console.

Note If a standard or group folder exceeds the member limit, Quip automatically converts the folder to a workspace folder. If the converted folder is a standard folder, Quip also moves the folder to the top level of the folder hierarchy if the folder was nested.

Folder membership in a shared folder provides:

- Read and write access to the contents of the folder by default
- Access to the folder and its contents from the Folders pane and search
- Automatic updates about documents in the folder in the Updates pane. For workspace folders, members see updates about documents that they create, add a comment to, and add a message to in the document conversation. For standard and group folders, members also see updates about documents they edit.
