# Team

> Team is for groups where more than 10 people edit. Everyone who can edit holds a seat, at $25 a month or $240 a year; viewers are free. Seats are shared across the team's workspaces, each seat adds 1TB to one shared drive, and the team owns its workspaces, with admins to run it. It starts with a 14-day trial.

Free and Creator include up to 10 people who can edit
across everything an account owns, and any number of viewers. Team is for the
groups that need more than that: a team owns its workspaces and pays for them
per seat, and admins look after its people, seats and joining.

Workspaces that belong to a team don't count toward the 10
of your own that Free and Creator allow, and a team has no limit on
how many workspaces it owns.

## What a seat is

Everyone who can edit in the team's workspaces holds a seat: the owner, admins,
members, and anyone from outside the team you let edit. An invite to edit holds
one until it is answered. Viewers are free and unlimited.

Seats are $25 a month each, or $240 a
year. They are shared across all the team's workspaces, so one person editing
in five of them is one seat. Each seat adds 1TB to the
team's drive, which everyone in the team shares, and the cards are unlimited.

A team has between 3 and 100 seats. Seats
nobody uses are let go at renewal, never below 3.

## Starting a team

Choose the number of seats on the [pricing page](/pricing) and press **Start a
Team trial**; signed in, the same setup is at `/team/new`. Name the team and pick which of your own workspaces move into it; the rest stay
yours. Seats start at the number those workspaces need.

The trial lasts 14 days. A card is needed to start it and
nothing is charged until it ends. During the trial the team's drive holds
100GB; the full drive comes with the first payment.

If you already pay for Creator, it keeps billing on its own. Once your
work has moved into the team, cancel it in **Settings → Plan & billing**.

## More than 100 seats, single sign-on or invoices

[Talk to us](/pricing/talk-to-us), the link under the pricing page's cards, is a
short form: what your team needs, and a work email to write back to. You don't
need an account to send one.

## People

The team's page, at `/team`, has three tabs: **People**, **Seats & billing**
and **Joining**.

- **The owner** can do everything, and is the only one who changes the card,
  the plan or closes the team.
- **Admins** add seats (the price is shown first), manage people, joining and
  what happens when seats run out.
- **Members** hold a seat and can make new workspaces for the team.
- **Viewers** can open and comment, and need no seat.

Everyone in the team sees everyone's name. Only the owner and admins see email
addresses.

Team workspaces are open to the whole team by default. An admin can make one
private; the owner and admins can still open a private workspace, so work can
always be handed over.

## Joining

Admins choose how people join, and can use any of these together:

- **Email invites**: paste a list of addresses.
- **A team link**: anyone with it can join.
- **Your company's email domain**: prove you own it with a DNS record, and
  people who sign up with an address there can join. Free email providers can't
  be used. People who already have an account with that domain are asked once,
  the next time they sign in; admins never see who has one.

## When seats run out

Admins pick one:

- **Ask first** (the default): someone new joins as a viewer and the admins are
  asked, and can add a seat for them.
- **Add seats automatically**, with an optional limit on how many can be added
  in a month.

## Your own workspaces

The team never sees, opens or bills your own workspaces. While you hold a seat
in a team that is paid up, they get unlimited cards and
50GB more drive (admins can turn this off for the team).
If you leave the team, your own workspaces go back to your own plan and nothing
in them is removed.

## Payments

If a payment fails, the team keeps editing for 14 days while
the card is sorted out. After that its workspaces are view-only: everything
still opens, and paying again turns editing back on.

## Closing a team

The owner can close the team. Its workspaces move to the owner's own account,
and everyone keeps the access they had. If that leaves the owner's account with
more than 10 people who can edit, everyone keeps editing, and
nobody new can be made an editor until it is back at 10 or
fewer.
