## Workspace vs. Folder organization

**Use workspaces when you need:**

* Complete separation of content and members
* Different billing or plan requirements
* Distinct organizational boundaries
* Clear client or project isolation

**Use folders when you need:**

* Organization within the same team or project
* Flexible sharing with different subsets of people
* Quick reorganization of content
* Granular access control within a workspace
