Shared cloud document folder
I was happy to see folders for cloud documents be released. However, my co-worker(s) and I were disappointed to see that when organizing or creating a folder structure, it does not reflect to other XD users. Essentially, it only occurs under your own Creative Cloud account.
REQUEST: I would like to make a folder structure with my own and/or XD documents that were shared with me to be synced up for specified users to see on their ends as well. (Similarly to Dropbox or Google Drive folders where other users can access them)

This is so needed! Now that I've added designers to my team, I must either individually share each file with them (and lose my folder organization), or save all XD docs to our Dropbox - and lose all the published prototypes attached to them. It's a lose-lose situation right now.

One more disappointed user after understanding that "Shared Folder" features added under Admin Console > Storage is not available for sharing XD files. This feature is so much needed to organize our work. Please add this feature +1

The folder sharing option must have available to get better user experience when we are working as a team in any large size project, there are multiple files need to be shared made easy to the team members when any designer is putting them into a folder and collaborate.
Please add this feature as much as possible soon.

PLEASE develop this feature! This is a must-have if you're designing on a team. I don't understand why this isn't available. It's important!

@adobe this is not a 'feature' to vote for' this is basic collaboration theme which you have to provide ASAP!!
Me and other design managers have a real hard time justifying you over your competitors as you're being so slow across basic functionality releases - please get this out there quickly so I don't need to move to Figma...pretty please with pixel-cream on top!!! -

It's impossible to find past work your teammates have worked on.
We could save URLs to cloud docs in a shared dropbox folder, if only XD cloud docs had URLs.

This feature is well over due.
The ability to organize cloud files into folders is fine, but why shared files only show up in a flat list is odd. True team collaboration is the goal, but I would be happy just to be able to organize stuff in the 'shared with you' section of cc so that I can find things.Inviting to folders = YES, Shared ownership of folders by a team would be even better.

I was incredibly surprised when I convinced my team to use Adobe instead of Sketch only to find that Adobe XD does not have an easy way to share files in bulk with your teammates. Role-based access control, or at the very least a shared cloud document folder that your whole team has access to, is so important. Every cloud document tool (Google, Dropbox, Box, Figma, Sketch Cloud, etc.) has the ability to have a shared space for your team when you have a business level account or higher. This is a necessity! How are large teams supposed to manage access to all of the design files and all of their users in this manual way without a shared space for team files?

I would like to give a team member access to all my XD creative cloud files. How do I do that without opening and giving them access to each file?

+1 this needs to be escalated.
Having recently begun a massive internal team expansion the inability to share the project folders that are in Creative Cloud with the other members of the team is crippling. I know you can invite to edit but, sometimes doesn't tell the whole story of a project.
The ability to share entire cloud folders with teams is sorely needed.

Allow CC for team users to select the cloud storage solution of their choice (Dropbox, Onedrive, Box, etc) to store work with CC files.
Instead of Adobe trying to reinvent the wheel with cloud storage and file management (and not doing a particularly great job) focus on integration with existing and mature cloud storage providers enabling the hooks needed to published prototypes.
I would love for CC (XD specifically) to have better tools to manage files at a TEAM level with easy access to multiple files across multiple location and people but CC file management is so far behind (and low priority) It seems silly not to just integrate existing mature solutions.
Stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just embrace the companies that already have the solutions sorted out. Close the gaps in file and asset management features - so that CC and XD has basic team asset management functionality.
Rudimentary features are missing like sharing a folder with multiple designers working on the same project. Integration provides a faster path to a workable solution and isn't a real bear to use.All CC to Integrate with existing cloud file management providers so that CC/XD has a more robust enterprise and team story and feature set.

For the love of all the rainbows and sunshine in the world - make CC for teams work for teams of people.
Adobe tools are for more than marketing websites and consumer mobile apps right? Let's prove it!Enterprise application designs are often large complicated and elaborately detailed designs. In order to keep things organized, for the plethora of stakeholders, designs are often broken down into components to be tested and validates with stakeholders, often with different designers taking on responsibilities of different pieces. This results in multiple files that need to be accessible to multiple designers, often across multiple timezones and countries...
Needing to manage each file separately by each user is a nightmare today. Each cloud-based collaborative file should have a shared view (way to add/remove collaborators, way to publish and manage links that is shared by multiple "owners") this includes being able to share and provide access and collaborate on a collection of files in a folder without needing to add multiple people to each file individually.
Basically make cloud files work just like synced files without the need to download the file locally to each person's machine including the ability to manage view/modify permissions on file and folder level, manage shared links and managed shared published prototypes. Do all of this from a shared team view rather than from each user individual POV.

So you merged this with another thread asking for the same issue to be resolved. That’s great, any chance you can actually get this into the development queue though. This feature request has been around since 2017 and you’ve just been moving it around here to make it seem like it’s a recent ask. It’s not. This is basic to any team collaboration and it’s insane we still don’t have it. You’ve completely ignored every tenant of directory structures that’s been around for I dunno 40+ Years or so.
+1 I guess, but I won’t hold my breath. Seriously considering ditching the entire Adobe suite at this point and moving on to better products with better customer service. There are finally plenty of better alternatives.
