 +Starting in February 2021, changes are being made to how Shared Team Folders work for org. members' personal spaces.  These changes will apply first to accounts on storagemadeeasy.com and eu.storagemadeeasy.com.  These are also first introduced into v2106 of the Enterprise File Fabric Appliance. 
  
-{{:/organisationcloud:userstorageandsharedfolders:steps:sme_6_shared_folders_v_bus.png}}+A member's personal space contains the member's private workspace on the organization's storage as well as any private providers belonging to the member.  Prior to this change, a member who had been granted the permission to create or create and delete Shared Team Folders could take those actions anywhere in their personal space.  After the change members with those permissions can only create or delete Shared Team Folders in the root of their personal space.  Neither their personal providers nor any subfolders in their personal space, whether on the organization's storage or on personal providers, can be shared by members.  Folders that had been shared prior to the change will remain shared regardless of their location.
