To share folders with other WeVideo users, find the folder on the Projects page, open the three-dots menu, and click Share. Sharing folders allows multiple users to make collaborative edits, including editing multimedia projects in real time.

Before you start

  • You can only share folders with WeVideo users within the same license. If you cannot add a collaborator to your folder, ensure that the user is on your license by checking with your WeVideo account administrator.

How to share folders

The share option of the folder in WeVideo.

Go to the Projects page of your Multimedia Creation dashboard, click the three dots next to any folder title, and then click Share.

Add a collaborator by typing their name, group, or email address. Then click Invite.

Repeat as needed until all collaborators have been added. There is no limit to the number of collaborators on shared folders.

Permissions for shared folder collaborators

Inviting collaborators to a folder will grant access to all projects and subfolders within that folder. 


The shared folders on the projects page in the WeVideo Multimedia Creation space.

Invited collaborators can view, edit, export, and duplicate any project within the folder by opening the shared folder and projects from the Projects page.

Important notes on shared folder permissions:

  • Invited collaborators cannot remove collaborators, delete projects, or move projects into or out of their current folders.
  • Collaborators invited to a folder can access any subfolders within that folder. However, the opposite is not true; a collaborator invited directly to a subfolder will not have access to the master folder unless granted separately.
  • To limit permissions within a folder, invite collaborators on a project-by-project basis instead.

How to unshare folders

The unshare with everyone option for the folder in WeVideo.

To unshare a folder, find the folder on the Projects page, click the three dots, and click Unshare with everybody.

Plan and permission requirements for sharing folders

  • Any WeVideo user can share folders; however, as noted above, all invited collaborators must be on the same WeVideo license.
