Types of collaborators
Overview
There are three types of collaborators for any inSync Share folder:
- Owner: The person who first shared a folder with other people.
- inSync Share user: A person with whom a folder has been shared and who has an inSync Share account. An inSync Share user can either have manage permissions, edit permissions, or view permissions to a shared folder.
- Guest user: A person with whom a folder has been shared, but does not have an inSync Share account. A guest user can either have edit permissions or view permissions to a shared folder.
