Applications

Group Space​

In Group Space, users with Group Space permissions can create group folders and invite specific members to join. Only members can access files within a group folder, with access controlled by predefined read/write permissions. Group Space is useful when certain photos, videos, or files need to be shared only with selected users. By creating multiple groups, different content can be shared with different users, providing resource sharing and collaboration for families or small teams. Group Space supports multi-device, cross-platform access but does not support Samba access.
