🏢Set up your organization
Overview
Organizations in Ellipsis Drive allow you to manage data and users at a team or company level.
Instead of being owned by an individual account, content can be owned by an organization. This enables centralized management of storage, access, and collaboration.
Organizations also support user groups to simplify permission management at scale.
Create an organization
To set up an organization:
Navigate to Manage account via your user avatar (top right)
Open the Organizations section in the sidebar
Select Add organization
Enter an organization name
Your organization will now appear in your organization list.
Storage configuration
After creating an organization, you must attach a storage plan.
Open the organization
Navigate to Storage
Select and assign a storage plan
All data stored within the organization will be billed according to this plan.
Organization content
Once created, a shared organization folder is automatically added to your workspace.
This folder:
Is owned by the organization
Can be accessed by invited members
Serves as the default location for collaborative data
Any content created within this folder inherits organization ownership and storage billing.
User groups
User groups allow you to manage access at scale instead of assigning permissions individually.
To manage groups:
Go to Manage account → My organizations
Select your organization
Open Groups
From here, you can:
Create groups
Add or remove users
Assign group-level permissions
Groups can be assigned to organization-owned layers and folders. All users within a group inherit the same access rights.
Changes to group membership are applied automatically.
Only organization-owned content can be shared with organization groups
Groups cannot be used outside the organization they belong to
Group roles
Users in a group can be assigned one of two roles:
Member: inherits group permissions
Group admin: can manage group membership
Group admins are useful for delegating access management within larger teams.
Organization admins
Organization admins have full control over the organization.
To manage organization admins, go to: Manage account → My organizations → Admins
Organization admins can:
Manage storage plans
Edit organization settings
Manage users and groups
Delete the organization
Only assign organization admin rights to trusted users, as this role has full administrative access.
