Sharing a folder is an efficient way to provide access to all maps related to a project for your team. Once you share a folder, all users with access automatically see any new maps added to that folder without the need for additional sharing actions.
Availability: Who has access?

Organization Administrators and Members with Edit permissions

Moving items and access permissions
Moving items into or out of folders can change who can see your data. Keep these rules in mind:
Moving into a folder: If you move a shared map into a folder, users who previously had access to that map will lose access unless the folder is also shared with them.
Moving between folders: If you move a map from Folder A to Folder B, users with access only to Folder A will lose access to that map.
Removing from a folder: Removing a map from a folder removes access for all users except the map editors.
Limitations
Folder Ownership: Only the folder creator or an administrator can permanently delete a folder.
Permission Inheritance: Permissions set at the folder level apply to all items within that folder.
FAQs
Q: If I share a folder with someone, can they delete my data?
A: No. Editors can delete a folder if it is empty, but they cannot delete your data. Only the original creator can permanently delete a map or flight plan.
Q: Can folder editors add new items?
A: Yes. All folder editors can add or remove items and rename the folder.
