Note

What happens to places the users connected before the Admin disabled them?

If a user connected a folder from a storage place that the Admin later disables, the access to it , is blocked inside the Team Files app, is blocked. All connected folders from that place are blocked too, and if there are attached folders and files from a blocked storage place, the content won't be visible, and they'll display a warning mentioning the Admin blocked the access.

Allowed Spaces

By default, the Team Files app is available to be used in all spaces. It’s accessible with a link on the space sidebar and as a macro on pages to attach files and folders.

However, an Admin can specify which Confluence spaces can use the Team Files app. When a space doesn’t have permission to use the app, the file manager and the macro are hidden.

In the "Spaces" tab, you can see the current settings. There are three main options that you can select from the drop-down menu: 

Option 1: All spaces can use the app (default option)

It is the default option and means that every space has access to the Team Files app.
