Creating and managing a Group (👑 premium only)

If you’re part of an institutional or enterprise license (and not part of a Lab or Team plan) and find yourself frequently working with others within your Premium Organization, you can create a Group to easily share your files. This guide covers setting up a Group, adding and removing members, and managing permissions.

1. Click Edit profile and settings located in the top-right profile menu.
2. Click Groups.
3. Click Create New Group and name it.
4. Invite friends or colleagues to join your group for smoother collaboration

Adding members to your Group
