Accounts and workspaces

There are two things to know about, and they nest:

• An account is an identity: an @handle, a bill, and a set of people. You get one when you sign up, named after you. It's also who publishes your apps, so a gallery app reads @yourhandle/theapp.
• A workspace belongs to an account. It's where files and apps live together — a self-contained project with its own people. Make as many as you like: one for work, one for personal notes, one per team.

@travis and @acme are the same kind of thing: a namespace with one member or with twenty. Nothing is special about your first account, and you can rename it if it grows into a team.

Moving around

Every account you belong to, and every workspace in it, is listed in the sidebar at once — no switching, no picker. Click a workspace to open it; click again to collapse it. Several can be open at the same time.

Sync follows the account

Sync is a property of the account, not of individual workspaces. While an account is subscribed, everything in it syncs; if it isn't, everything in it stays on your device. There's no per-workspace switch to forget.

Want something to stay local even though you pay? Make a separate account for it and don't subscribe that one. Local workspaces are always free.

Storage

Storage is pooled across the account and shown in Account → Billing. Your text files and installed app assets consume it.

Who can open a workspace

Each workspace is either open to everyone in the account or to only the people you add. You set that per workspace in Account → Workspaces, and it's the only setting a workspace has.

Account owners and admins can open every workspace in the account regardless — that's what being an admin means. If you need something genuinely private, put it in its own account rather than trying to hide it inside a shared one.

People and their roles live in Account → Sharing:

• Admin. Everything in the account, including billing and people.
• Member. The workspaces you grant them. Counts as a seat.
• Guest. Exactly one workspace. Free, up to a cap.

Deleting a workspace

In Account → Workspaces, each row has a delete button. Deleting is permanent: all of its files and app data go. A local-only workspace is instead removed from the app — on desktop your files stay in the folder on disk.
