We use Team Folders to organize our documents. We are consolidating into a main Team Folder and people have folders with diagrams they want to move into the Team Folder. However per the Team Folder documentation this action is restricted to only Team Admins and Account Admins. Can this function be allowed for all users with Edit or higher permissions on the destination Team Folder?

“Only admins can move folders into a team folder. If you are not an admin and you need to move a folder into a team folder, share the folder with the account's admin and ask them to move it into the team folder.”

Hi Nick! Thanks for the feedback! You are correct, only admins can move folders into a Team Folder. However, we are currently working on new functionality to improve the overall team experience in Lucid, so stay tuned, as this will likely solve your use case. 😄

Can you provide any updates on this? With his new team experience, can you confirm if non-Admin users will be able to move sub-folders into a Team Folder? 

 

We have many groups within our organization that have sub-folders of diagrams they need to consolidate into a central, shared Team Folder. Currently they don’t have an easy, effective way to move their contents. Right now, they can either re-create the folder structure in the destination Team Folder and move the diagrams over individually (very tedious and time intensive) or have each group coordinate with an Account Admin to migrate their respective folders into the target Team Folder (again not very easy for the end user).

 

This limitation / restriction on Team Folders is making it difficult for us to manage our content and have user groups consolidate content as we want them to do. Please let us know if this can or will be addressed soon.

Hey Nick! You will be able to move folders across teams if you are not an admin. But Team folder will still be restricted to admins. We highly encourage that you will start to use this new model, and there will be an option that allows you to easily convert a Team Folder into one of these Teams. This new functionality should be available to you and your account very soon!
