01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A teammate’s request to create or maintain a folder for shared work

“Clarify the requested folder outcome, check for a suitable existing location, and prepare the change for approval by the team-space owner.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teammates keep shared file spaces organized by making folder requests and their ownership clear before a change is made.

  1. Clarify the folder’s work purpose

    Ask what team activity the folder supports and who will be responsible for its contents.

  2. Confirm the appropriate location

    Identify the team space and parent folder where the work belongs, and check for an existing location first.

  3. Agree on a clear folder name

    Use names that help teammates recognize the work without placing sensitive details in the folder title.

  4. Review the intended audience

    Have the owner confirm which teammates need access and whether the folder should remain restricted.

  5. Approve the folder change

    Wait for the authorized team-space owner to confirm the exact create, rename, or organization request.

  6. Confirm ownership and completion

    Tell the requester what was approved and who owns the folder, or explain what remains unresolved.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A folder request ready for an authorized owner to approve, or a clear hold when the location, ownership, or access needs clarification.

The handoff

A folder request ready for an authorized owner to approve, or a clear hold when the location, ownership, or access needs clarification.

Keep in mind

Folder access can expose confidential work or disrupt collaboration. Verify the purpose and intended audience, preserve existing ownership, and have an authorized person approve changes to shared access.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the team spaces in scope

Identify which shared file areas this process supports and who owns each one.

Set naming and location guidance

Document how folders should be named and where common types of team work should live.

Define audience and approval rules

Decide who may request folders, who approves them, and how restricted access is handled.

Review common folder requests

Test a new folder, an existing-folder match, and a request for a broader audience.

Put your next idea to work.
