Getting many signatures
I want to create a template that needs to be signed individually by many people. Is there a way to do this other than sending the template individually to each person? Is bulk sending what can be used for this instance?
Thanks for getting back to us here Co-laboration.
If someone outside of the team shares a folder with a team member (the admin account in this case), then the folder is owner by someone outside of the team.
The shared team space outside of the purple folder can only hold folders that are owned by the team itself, this is why a folder shared to the admin account from outside the team appears in the personal folder.
This, however, doesn't meant they have access to the while purple folder. They can only see the content of the folder that is shared with you and nothing more than that (eg. the hierarchy within the folder).
If you want the folder with the non-team member to appear in the team shared workspace outside the purple folder, you can create a folder in the location you want it to be, and then share the folder to them to add the content.
This way, a team member is the owner of the folder so the data can be outside the purple folder.
Otherwise, you can ask them to transfer the ownership of the shared folder to the admin account, and then you can move the folder outside the purple folder.
I hope this helps clarify the matter, please let me know if you have any questions!

Daphne,
Your answer clarifies the matter - thanks!
I therefore assume I cant force non-team members to create folders only in specific and predetermined by me locations / spaces
