Capabilities descriptions

  • Invitation Restrictions – Choose who can collaborate in this folder and how they can join.
  • Commenting – Disable and hide comments on content in this folder.
  • Shared Link Access – Restrict who can access this folder via shared links.
  • Invitation Link – Use the generated link to invite collaborators into this folder with a specific permission level. This feature can only be enabled and disabled by folder owners. It is automatically disabled when collaboration is restricted to within UCSF.

  • Email Uploads – Allow people in this folder to upload files via email.
