When you're invited to a shared folder, you'll receive a notification on rakuten-drive.com, in the Rakuten Drive app, and via email. The person sharing the folder may have forwarded the invitation link directly to you. Once you allow the invitation, the shared folder is added, and you can access its files. Access to the folder may vary depending on the permission the person sharing it has granted you.
