Sharing folders in a workspace

Khari Shiver

Hello,

I've created a database in Smartsheet for onboarding purposes. There are 5 folders within the workspace but I would only like to share two of them with the field. It appears I can only share an entire workspace unless I'm overlooking something. If that's the case, if I moved two of the folders to a different workspace, would that cause an issue with any of the automation or anything else?

If anyone has a solution that may be more efficient, please let me know.

Thank you,

Khari

Hi @Khari Shiver

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to share folders, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• As you mentioned, you can use another Workspace, and your automation would probably continue to work (I would need more information to give a better answer)
• Depending on what Smartsheet plan you have, you could maybe use the Premium App, WorkApps.
• Another option could be the Premium App, Dynamic View.

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
