Teams have two things: Members (surprise!) and Projects. When you create a Team you also get an area where its members can create Projects, upload and share files.

Each Team member has one of these roles:

• Viewer - can only look at things and write comments.
• Member (restricted) - only allowed to upload files to existing Projects (but not create new Projects). Cannot create Shares.
• Member - can use all collaboration features: create Projects, upload files, create Share links, etc.
• Admin - a Member with permission to manage Team details (like its name), memberships and roles.

You can read more about Roles and Permissions here.

Projects can be shared with Teams. Team members will inherit their roles in this case, so a User that has the Member role in the Team will have the Member role in the shared Project too.

Hidden Teams

A Hidden Team is an Enterprise feature and behaves just like an ordinary Team, with one exception: it cannot own Projects. Hidden Teams will soon replace Groups and is intended to meet the same need: grouping Users together for the sole purpose of giving access to other Teams’ resources.

To create a Hidden Team, go to the Teams tab in your Company Settings. Click “New Team” and make sure to check the “Hidden Team” checkbox in the form. Note: you cannot hide or “un-hide” a Team after it has been created.

Hidden Teams are marked with an crossed-out eye in the Teams list.

Members of a Hidden Team will not see the Team in the sidebar. Any Projects shared with the Hidden Team are available under its members “Shared with me” section.
