# Who can see what I upload?

_People in your organisation with access to that folder. Not other clients, and not us for the fun of it._

**Responde a:** who sees the documents i upload · can another company see my documents · can everyone at my company see it · who has access to my files

**People in your own organisation with permission on that folder can see it, and nobody else.** Another company using the platform sees nothing of yours: each organisation is separated from the rest.

## Who sees what

| Who | What they see |
| --- | --- |
| Colleagues with permission | What is in their folder or project |
| Colleagues without permission | Nothing in that folder |
| An external participant | Only their own part, through their link |
| **Another organisation** | **Nothing. Ever** |

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **If something is sensitive, the question is not «is it secure?» but «which of my own people have permission?».** The realistic scenario is not a stranger getting in: it is a colleague opening something they should not, because the folder was created with broad access and nobody has reviewed it since. That is fixed by looking at the folder's permissions, not by moving the document elsewhere.

## What is worth reviewing now and then

**En corto**

- Who still has access among people no longer working on it.
- Folders created «for everyone» long ago that now hold delicate material.
- And external guests who came in for one matter and are still there.

> [!WARNING]
> A nuance that usually reassures, and is worth stating in full: **support being able to help you does not mean anyone is reading your documents**. Support staff access is logged, happens to resolve something you asked about, and is not a free wander through your archive. If you ever want to know who has viewed a document, that is a question with an answer: the document's history holds it.

**Can my manager see it?**

If they have permission on that folder, yes. Same as any shared drive.

**Can another of your clients see it?**

No. Organisations cannot see each other.

**Can I find out who opened a document?**

Yes: who did what and when is recorded.

## Ejemplos

**Someone hesitates to upload a sensitive document because they do not know who will see it.**

- Checks the folder's permissions before uploading and adjusts them if needed

→ The document goes to the right place instead of staying on someone's desktop.

**A folder created «for everyone» two years ago now holds HR paperwork.**

- Reviews who has access and narrows it to those who need it

→ There stop being people with access nobody ever decided to grant.

**Something sensitive is uploaded without knowing who will see it.**

- Checks who has access to that file

→ You upload knowingly.

**The whole team sees everything by default.**

- Limits access according to the work

→ Sensitive material stays where it should.

**It is shared with an external party who sees more than intended.**

- Checks the access scope before sharing

→ They see theirs and nothing more.

**You want to know who has opened a document.**

- Checks the access log

→ The question has an answer.
