Invite the people involved
Teams can include internal users, contractors, reviewers, and other collaborators who need a shared PhotonFile context.
PhotonFile Teams
Collaborate without opening every Vault or paying for every seat.
Invite teammates and contractors into a shared operating context while granting file access intentionally, Vault by Vault. Eligible teams run under the owner’s plan.
Access model
Team membership is not Vault access.
A Team creates shared operating context for people, roles, Relay, and team-owned work. Vault access remains a separate grant so joining the Team does not automatically reveal every client, project, personal, or financial Vault. Vaults are the hard privacy boundaries; folders inside them simply organize files.
Grant only the work they need
Vault access is granted intentionally, Vault by Vault, with permissions appropriate to that work domain. Sharing a project Vault never opens unrelated personal or client Vaults.
Owner-powered workflows
One plan can support the Team’s file workflows.
The relevant Relay, Vault, Vault Intake, and Vault Sync workflows remain available according to the owner’s plan and the access intentionally granted inside the Team.
Send
Live Relay
Deliver files in the Team context.
Receive
Vault Intake
Collect uploads without browse access.
Store
Photon Vault
Keep shared Team work in its own isolated Vault, separate from personal, client, and other project data.
Sync
Vault Sync
Map the local folders a teammate needs to only the Vaults they are granted.
Commercial model
No per-seat team tax.
Eligible teams use the owner’s plan rather than requiring each invited person to buy a separate subscription. Team creation is reserved for eligible plans, while joining an existing Team does not require an upgrade.
Current plan eligibility and Team limits remain defined on the pricing page.
