shared folder

Group-accessible file location

A shared folder is a directory on a computer or network that multiple users can access.

The sharing may be read-only or allow full editing privileges.

In workplaces, shared folders store documents that teams need to collaborate on: Put the report in the shared folder so everyone can review it.

Cloud services have made shared folders common for personal use too.
