Accessing shared project files

The first thing you’ll likely be looking for is the files that have been shared with you from other members of your project team.

To find them, first click on the Files app that is linked in the top menu.

../../_images/files-1-menu.png

This will open the primary view of the Files app, which looks like this:

../../_images/files-2-tree.png

This is your home folder, which also automatically contains all the folders that have been shared with you. This includes the project working folders as well. (1)

Depending on your assigned role in the project, you will have access to the <Project name>-administrative folder, the <Project name>-operative folder, or both.

Note that you can also always find the project folders on the tree view on the left-hand side (2) if you’re lost.

Note

If you can’t find the folder for a specific project, make sure to check I was recently added to a project and can’t find the shared project folder.

Frequently asked questions

I was recently added to a project and can’t find the shared project folder

If you were just added to a new project and the shared folder for your project cannot be found, it is possible that Nextcloud was not informed of your updated project membership yet.

This can be resolved by simply logging out and back in to Nextcloud once. This will cause Nextcloud to become aware of your new membership, and the project folder should now appear.
