Send Space invitations with a password
We recommend password protecting Space invitations. To password protect an invitation select “Message and Protection” and enable “Password Protection”.
Non-TeamDrive users are invited to join Spaces, and TeamDrive, via emails that could potentially be intercepted by malicious third parties. Users sending invites are therefore advised to confirm the email addresses of non-TeamDrive users before sending invitations. In addition, the “password protection” feature is a viable option for encrypting invitations. Using a password will also help to prevent unintentional invitees, possibly due to misspelled usernames or email addresses, from joining a Space.
The invited user will receive a Space invitation notification via email and a Space invitation within the TeamDrive client (if they are an existing TeamDrive user). Space invitations can only be accepted or declined via the client. Within the Space invitation notification email are links to download TeamDrive installation software; for use in case TeamDrive is not already installed on the recipient’s machine.
When a Space invitation has been received, the “Invitations” menu item on the home screen will display a blue bubble with a number (the number is indicative of how many unchecked invitations are on the invitations list).
