Team Billing

Teams in GolemDrive share a single subscription. Here’s how the money side of things works.

The Owner pays

When you create a team, you’re the Owner, and the team runs on your plan. Your subscription covers the team’s storage and any seats for members. There’s one bill, and it goes to you.

Team storage comes from your plan

Whatever storage your plan includes, that’s what your team has to work with. Files uploaded by any team member count toward your total storage limit.

For example, if you’re on a plan with 500 GB:

• Your personal files might use 200 GB
• Your team files might use 150 GB
• You’d have 150 GB left

You can see exactly how storage is being used in your team settings.

Adding and removing seats

As your team grows, you can add more seats. As people leave, you can remove them. Your billing adjusts accordingly:

• Adding a seat — you’ll be charged for the extra seat on your next billing cycle (or a prorated amount if mid-cycle)
• Removing a seat — the seat is freed up and you won’t be charged for it going forward

You don’t need to add seats manually in most cases — inviting a new member handles it.

Checking team usage

Want to see how much storage your team is using? Head to the team page and open Settings. You’ll find:

• Total team storage used
• A breakdown by member (who’s using the most space)
• How much of your overall plan is left

Upgrading your plan

If your team is running out of space, you can upgrade your plan from your account settings. The extra storage becomes available to both your personal files and your team immediately.

A few things to know

• Only the Owner can manage billing and upgrade the plan. Admins, Editors, and Viewers don’t have access to billing settings.
• If you have multiple teams, they all share the same plan. Your total storage is split across personal use and all your teams.
• Downgrading your plan when your team is using a lot of storage won’t delete any files, but you won’t be able to upload new ones until you’re back under the limit.
