You can determine the permissions you want to grant to people both when you share a folder with and after you share it. There are five roles for folder members: viewer, downloader, uploader, editor, and owner.
-
Owner: Only one member can be the owner of a folder. The person who initially created the shared folder is automatically the owner. However, an exception occurs if you create the shared folder within another user's parent folder. Only the owner can manage member permissions and unshare the folder.
-
Viewer: Members granted this permission can only view the full list of files in the shared folder.
-
Downloader: Members granted this permission can view, comment on, and download files in the shared folder, but they can't add, copy, move, edit, delete, or share files.
-
Uploader: Members granted this permission can view, download, comment on, add, copy, and move files in the shared folder, but can't delete or share files.
-
Editor: Members granted this permission can add, download, copy, move, edit, share, delete, and comment on files in the shared folder.
