Create a team folder

Create a team folder from the New button on Team Folders. By default only administrators can; a setting can open it to everybody.

Creating a team folder looks just like creating a folder of your own, but where you create it decides what it is. A folder made on the Team Folders page is a team folder, and you become its owner.

  1. Go to Team Folders.

  2. Select New, then Folder.

  3. Enter a name for the team or the project, and select Create.

The folder appears in Team Folders with you as its only member, marked Owner. Open it and select Manage to start adding people.

Who can create one

The Team Folders page of Nest's settings. Under Creation, the switch Allow all users to create team folders is off, with the note When disabled, only workspace admins can create team folders. Under Defaults, Default member role reads Editor, with the note The role assigned to new members when they are added to a team folder.
Off, as here, means only administrators create team folders. The default role is what new members start with.

Your administrator controls both of these on the Team Folders page of Nest's settings. With the switch off, anyone else who tries is told that only admins can create team folders.
