  • Sharing is what puts an item under the Sharing view.
  • A sync space is a folder kept in step with your desktop client - useful for work you do locally.
  • Mark as end-to-end encrypted encrypts a folder’s contents with keys the server never holds; keep your recovery key safe or the data cannot be read.
  • Delete is soft: items go to Trash, not away for good.
